At CareGuide, we take the privacy and security of our members very seriously. To ensure the highest level of protection, we have a strict policy against the public display of personal contact information on profiles. Here's why:
-
Preventing Unsolicited Contact: Displaying personal information like phone numbers or email addresses publicly can lead to unsolicited contact, which might include spam or unwanted communications from individuals outside our trusted community.
-
Reducing Scam Risks: Scammers often scour public profiles for contact information. Keeping this information private helps protect you from potential fraudulent activities and scams that often occur outside monitored platforms.
-
Maintaining Platform Integrity: Our goal is to provide a secure communication environment within our platform. By centralizing communication, we can offer better oversight and response to any inappropriate or suspicious activities.
-
Encouraging In-Site Communication: We encourage members to communicate through our secure messaging system. This not only provides a layer of security but also allows us to offer support and intervene if any issues arise.
-
Data Privacy Compliance: Adhering to privacy laws and regulations, we aim to protect your personal data from being accessed without your explicit consent or being used inappropriately.
This policy is a critical part of our commitment to ensuring that CareGuide remains a safe and trustworthy platform for all members.
