All,

We would like to take a moment to remind everyone about the importance of protecting the personal contact information that is not publicly shared.

We have had reports of private, non-public contact information or other media being shared that is not meant to be shared except by the owner.

This applies to:

- Non-Published Telephone Numbers
- Wechat/Kik/LINE/Whatsapp/Kakao - Contact Information (QR Codes/ID's Etc.)
- Non-Public Email Addresses
- Private Galleries (Password Protected)
- Skype Contacts

If you have this kind of personal information of a client or a provider, please kindly do not share it with others without express permission from the original owner. Please use the preferred contact method of the provider or client that's publicly known. Once you are communicating with a client or a provider, the shared contact information should be kept private and not shared with anyone else.

We have had reports of people being contacted at private contact points that were not shared publicly, which means that someone shared that information without permission from the original owner.

Please respect the privacy wishes of everyone and only use publicly available contact information. Any private information shared as a result of that contact should be kept private.

Thank you for your cooperation!
