Don'ts in Special Bridge
DO NOT Give Out Your Financial Details
When you’re interacting online, you don’t want to share sensitive personal or financial info. Doing so can compromise your safety and lead to fraud. Make sure not to give out your bank accounts information or credit card numbers when communicating with someone online.
DO NOT Post Your Personal Contact Information
Special Bridge is the #1 social community for people with disabilities, and online safety for people with disabilities is a top priority for us. While our mission is to help you meet new friends and find love, a few best practices should be kept in mind when it comes to your personal information. It’s often best to avoid sharing personal information online until you have developed a long-standing sense of trust with someone else. Protect information such as:
- Your personal phone number
- Your email address
- The address to your home
- Your place of employment
DO NOT Continue to Talk to Someone Who Pressures You
When interacting online, you want to be cautious. If you ever feel unsafe or someone threatens you, stop interacting with them and contact our support team immediately at support@specialbridge.com. You also want to stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for information or asks you for money. This way, you can ensure your interactions are positive and safe.
