Your safety is our
highest foundational priority.
EMPTY is not a public classified board with strangers. It is a strictly verified collegiate network built on institutional identity and real peer accountability.
1. Meet in Designated Campus Public Zones
Always schedule marketplace handoffs or task rendezvous in well-lit, public collegiate spaces: the main library lobby, student dining halls, campus union centers, or designated security meetup zones.
2. Verify Peer Profile Before Handoff
Check that the student in front of you matches their verified EMPTY photo, full name, and campus department badge. Never hand over items or cash to an unverified proxy.
3. Inspect First, Pay Second
For marketplace items, test electronics, plug in monitors, or flip through textbooks to ensure condition matches the listing before completing payment.
4. Trust Your Instincts & Report
If any interaction, conversation, or proposal makes you uncomfortable, decline immediately. Use the in-app report button or report directly to campus security.
Facing an immediate emergency?
If you feel in physical danger or witness a crime in progress, contact your campus police, emergency dispatch (112 / 911), or local authorities immediately before contacting app support.
