Online Safety And Best Practices
Engaging in an online community like QuotesByAuthors can expose you to certain safety risks. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind while interacting with others on our platform.
Avoid sharing personal information with anyone you meet on QuotesByAuthors. Personal information includes details that can identify or locate you, such as your full name, phone number, bank information, home address, social media IDs, or any websites that contain such details about you or your family and friends. Think carefully before sharing your email or messaging accounts, as the person you are communicating with may not be who they claim to be.
Refrain from sending personal photos to anyone on QuotesByAuthors. Be cautious when opening files sent by other users, as they could potentially harm your device or contain unexpected content. We strongly advise against arranging in-person meetings with people you meet online. If you feel comfortable and still wish to proceed, please follow these guidelines:
- Always consult a parent or trusted adult before meeting someone. If possible, bring an adult with you.
- Inform someone you trust about your plans, including where you are going and when you expect to return.
- Choose a public location for the meeting, such as a busy café or shopping mall.
- If you choose to share your age or gender, be honest. Misleading someone can lead to awkward and potentially dangerous situations.
Take any threats, cyberbullying, or illegal activities seriously. If you feel threatened or see someone being bullied on QuotesByAuthors, report it immediately. If you suspect that a crime has occurred or may occur, contact your local police.
