Don't ever give out personal information on your Profile or to Strangers. Profiles are publicly visible to anyone, so don't include your last name, phone numbers, addresses, school names, or anything else that can lead someone to you.
Only use sites/services like Nexopia that allow you to block Messages from people you're not comfortable with - if you're uncomfortable with the way a conversation is going, just get out, do not worry about offending the other person
If you're going to send personal information, send it as a message, not a comment, as comments are visible to the public.
Take precautions when meeting people - If you're going to meet someone, always take a friend, go to an open and public place and make sure someone you trust knows where you're going and when you'll be back. Taking a cell phone helps provide extra security.
Nexopia's Advice to parents of teens:
Be aware of what your child is doing online
Place the computer in a common family area. This way you can easily keep an eye on what they're doing
Have a talk with your child about the dangers associated with any communication medium
Educate yourself. If you understand how the internet works, you can better understand the dangers and risks
What Nexopia does to protect its users:
Every picture put on the site is checked for content before going on your profile - If you can't wear it in the street/beach, it's not allowed
Users can block anyone from sending them Messages and can choose to only receive messages from Friends
Over 300 people check content on the site and remove anything inappropriate
We do not knowingly allow anyone under the age of 14 to join.
We regularly liaise with the Police on issues of legality and safety and do everything we can to co-operate with any investigation involving the site
There is a "Report Abuse" button on every profile. This means that if there is any perceived offense by anyone, that comment or picture can, and if needed, will be removed promptly.
We're proud to work with Edmonton Police Service and Calgary Police Service to help keep our users safe. Any suggestions are welcome.
We would also like to take this opportunity to mention that Nexopia is probably the largest site of its type in Canada, and also one of the most responsible. A lot of other sites do not have any safe guards in place to protect users.
Your online experience with sites like Nexopia can be safe, as long as you follow common sense rules like those listed above.
