ANSWER:
New Faces takes safety and privacy issues very seriously, which is why
we created our Member Messages system. This system keeps all your
contact information private and secure, while still allowing you to
safely communicate with other members.
In addition, we have implemented the following safety features:
- Your
Display Name: We allow you to only display your first name (to choose
this option go to the Membership Tab in your LaunchPad).
- Your Location: You are expected to put the nearest BIG city, not necessarily your hometown, which further enhances your privacy.
- Your
Member ID: We advise you not to use your full name as your member ID
since your Member ID because part of your public portfolio web address.
Example: http://www.newfaces.com/Member-ID.
- Your
Images: We imprint member’s large photo to limit the possibility of it
being stolen from the site by "watermarking" the large photos with a
New Faces logo. We also add programming to make it so that in most
browsers, the large photos can’t be clicked on to be downloaded and
saved.
Please Note:
Unfortunately
anyone on the internet can download (copy) someone’s photo and pretend
to be them. This unfortunately is the nature of the internet
technology. Newfaces.com has no way of knowing if a person who signs up
for an online portfolio is the person they are representing themselves
to be. And we also have no way of knowing, if some person copies their
photo and pretends it is their photo on another site.
That
is ALL any website can do. There is no 100% way to protect photos on
the internet. You should realize that although New Faces takes
precautions and try our best to protect photos, that we make no
guarantee that someone can’t or won’t copy a photo and misuse it.
Newfaces.com or any website can not be responsible for every person’s
actions in the whole world that is using the internet.
