- Sharing Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
Please read the section in our Community Guidelines which highlights the type of PII information we ask that you don't share in order to protect identifiable information.

These include email addresses, phone numbers and credit card details.
- Image Sharing
Before sharing an image in a post consider what information can be determined about you from that image. If you are concerned it is sharing information that could identify you or your location then don't share it or make changes to conceal that information before sharing.
