Terms of Service
Effective: April 6, 2026 | Last updated: April 6, 2026
1. About WanderSafe
WanderSafe is a civic safety intelligence platform operated by Wandering With Pride Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization ("we," "us," "our"). WanderSafe provides LGBTQ+ travel safety information based on publicly available legal data, news reports, government advisories, and community submissions.
Important: WanderSafe provides information for traveler awareness only. It does not guarantee safety. Safety conditions can change rapidly and without warning. A destination rated "Safe" is not a guarantee of personal safety. A destination rated "High Risk" does not mean travel is impossible. Always exercise personal judgment, consult your government's official travel advisory, and make your own informed decisions.
Wandering With Pride Inc. assumes no liability for travel decisions made based on WanderSafe ratings, alerts, or content.
2. Use of the Platform
By accessing WanderSafe, you agree to these terms. WanderSafe is free to access for destination safety information.
You may not:
- Use WanderSafe data to discriminate against any country, population, or group
- Republish WanderSafe ratings without attribution
- Submit false or misleading community reports
- Attempt to access administrative or internal systems
- Use the platform for any purpose that harms LGBTQ+ individuals or communities
3. Community Reports
Community safety reports submitted through our form are reviewed by a human before publication. By submitting a report, you:
- Confirm the information is based on your genuine experience
- Consent to your report being published in anonymized form
- Understand your name and email are used only for follow-up and are not stored in our public database
- License your report under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
We reserve the right to reject, edit for clarity, or remove any community report at our discretion.
4. Limitation of Liability
WanderSafe is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that:
- Safety ratings are accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The platform will be available without interruption
- Alerts will be delivered in time to affect travel decisions
- Community reports reflect current conditions
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Wandering With Pride Inc., its officers, directors, employees, and volunteers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of or reliance on WanderSafe, including but not limited to personal injury, property damage, or financial loss incurred while traveling.
