4.1 Together Anonymity and Identity
Semi-Anonymous Content
When you submit content such as a post, comment, or question, you may be able to control how you represent yourself using different anonymity options. For example, you can choose to submit content with your company name, job title, or full name.
Required Personal Data
When submitting other content, such as reviews, you may be required to include certain personal data for public display, such as your employer, job title, and/or location.
Group Leaders
In some instances, group leaders may be able to limit access to a group and approve new group members. When you request access to a group, your profile and answers to member-approval questions may be shared with the leader(s) for that group.
Anonymity Guarantee
Together endeavors to offer opportunities to use its services while preserving your anonymity. However, you acknowledge that Together cannot guarantee your anonymity. Depending on your specific situation and circumstances, even semi-anonymous identifiers, such as the company or job title, especially when paired with other information such as your location, may allow someone to identify you or narrow down your identity to a small group of people. You should understand this risk before submitting content to the services.
Tips for Maintaining Anonymity
If you are concerned about your anonymity, there are a few things you can do to reduce the risk of being identified:
- Do not include any personal information in your content that could be used to identify you, such as your full name, home address, or phone number.
- Use a pseudonym or a nickname instead of your real name.
- Use a secure, anonymous email address when creating your Together account.
- Be careful about what information you share in your profile. Do not include any information that could be used to identify you, such as your current or previous employers, your job title, or your location.
By following these tips, you can help to protect your anonymity while using Together.
