How Can I Protect Myself?
If the website you are joining has a Privacy Policy, you should read it carefully before joining. Privacy Policies are statements that you will generally only find on very large websites. Unfortunately, pixel membership sites usually do not have policies regarding the protection of your personal information because they are generally small websites maintained as a hobby.
If you feel uneasy about your information being secure, it is a good idea to contact the webmaster prior to joining. As an added precaution it is good practice to ensure that you use different passwords for each website you join. Unfortunately this is not always a realistic option, especially if you are a member of several sites. At the very least you should ensure that your login password is different to your email account, paypal or other important websites.
If you own a website yourself you can show that you respect confidentiality by linking to this site with one of the buttons provided. Reassure your visitors that you support privacy protection!
