Mojofiti General Safety Tips

Mojofiti is a fun place to connect with people from all over the world. Because Mojofiti is an online forum, it can be easy to have a false sense of security and believe that there is no safety risk involved in making online connections. These pages contain some common guidelines you should follow when using Mojofiti or the internet. We reserve the right to make additions to or update our Safety Tips from time to time.

• Protect your information: Never give out your password to others, and remember to change your password regularly (create ‘strong’ passwords that combine letters and numbers). Never select the ‘remember me’ option while using a shared computer and don’t forget to log out of your account when you are finished.
• Look out for suspicious links: Never paste a URL or script into your browser while signed into www.Mojofiti.com. Scan your computer regularly for viruses, spyware and adware.
• Don’t trust strangers: Especially online, it is easy to impersonate others or pretend to be someone you are not. The Mojofiti Terms of Service emphasize the importance of honesty when creating User accounts. sin embargo, all Users should realize the difficulty of enforcing this policy, and be cautious when sharing information with people they do not know.
• Avoid posting personal sensitive data: Remember that once something is posted online, it is virtually impossible to keep this information from spreading, even if you wish to later. Be cautious when deciding what you post, and never post any personal information such as your phone number or address, or a photograph that would enable someone to identify where you live. If you do decide to meet someone you have connected with online, agree to meet during the day, in a public place, and bring along someone you trust.
• Don’t say you are over 18 if you are not or that you are under 18 if you are not: Mojofiti will delete your profile if we find that you have been dishonest about your age. Mojofiti does not allow registration by any Users under the age of thirteen.

Mojofiti Safety Tips for Teens

• Don’t say you are older than you are: Mojofiti Users must be at least thirteen years of age to be eligible to register. If Mojofiti determines that you are under thirteen years of age and are pretending to be older, your account will be deleted.
• Mojofiti is a public space, just like the places you visit every day: You should never post anything that you do not want the world to know, such as your full name and address, or anything that would embarrass you if your parents, future employer, or college professors were to see it. También, don’t post anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you. It is fun to post pictures online, but what you might consider to be a harmless picture of you and friends at a school football game might be a map that shows a stranger how to find you.
• Report any harassment, abuse or suspicious behavior: If you encounter any abusive or suspicious behavior while using Mojofiti, report it to your parents and to Mojofiti by following the “report abuse” link found on any Mojofitian’s page of our Site. Trust your gut if something does not feel right about a person you meet online, and stop connecting with that person or discuss the situation with a parent or trusted adult before communicating with them again.
• Don’t get hooked by a phishing scam: Phishing is a method others use to try to get your personal information, such as your username and password, by pretending to be someone you trust. If you suddenly start to receive abnormal messages from a friend, they might have been phished. Check with them before opening any files or clicking any links contained in their messages. If you think you or a friend has been a victim of phishing, change your password immediately.
• Be careful of identity theft: Identity theft occurs when someone uses your account to contact your online friends in order to obtain money or something of value from them. If you receive an abnormal message from a friend, check with him or her before you respond to it. If you think you or a friend has been a victim of identity theft, change your password immediately.
• Avoid in-person meetings: Don’t get together in person with someone you have ‘met’ online unless you are certain of their actual identity. Remember, you can never be sure who is at the other end of an online connection. Talk over any possible plans to meet another User with a parent or trusted adult first. If your parent or trusted adult agrees that it is safe to meet the other User, set the meeting during the daytime in a public place, and have them accompany you.

Mojofiti Safety Tips for Parents

• Create a safety plan with your teens: Be open with your teens and encourage them to come to you when they encounter any difficulties online. Talk with them about how they use the Mojofiti Platform, including teaching them about: protecting their privacy and creating strong passwords; not posting personally identifying information like their full name, dirección, or social security number; avoiding in-person meetings with strangers; and not posting embarrassing or inappropriate information or photos on their pages.
• Talk about Mojofiti and the internet: mojofiti, like the rest of the world, is a public space. Just like in the offline world, people aren’t always who they say they are. Remind you teens to be careful about adding strangers to their friends list. Encourage them to be themselves when connecting with others online, but to exercise the same level of caution they would use when meeting someone new in the real world. They would not chat without someone they did not know at the mall or give someone they did not know their cell phone number. Remind them that reckless online behavior can be just as dangerous. They should talk to you if they want to meet an online friend in person. If you think it is safe, the meeting should take place in a public place with you or a trusted adult present.
• Consider requiring that online activity take place in a central part of your house rather than in your teen’s bedroom, and remember that online activity can also take place on other electronic devices such as mobile phones.
• Ask your teen to share their online profile with you: Review your teen’s profile with them using a search engine to check if you are able to find any personally identifying information on your teen’s page. entonces, if need be, assist your teen in taking down inappropriate content.
• Tell your teen to report any suspicious behavior: If your teen feels threatened or upset by something he or she has seen on Mojofiti, ask them to tell you about it. If appropriate, report it to the police or to Mojofiti using the report abuse link found on any page.
