The habits
Check the address. Before you type anything private, look at the address bar and be sure the site is the one you meant to visit. Our sites end in 48hourrfprescue.com. A look-alike address is a warning sign — leave.
Keep information minimal. Never place financial information, identity documents, or other sensitive details on our websites or in our groups. We will never ask you for them. Anyone who asks, in our name, is not us.
Use your own password, and a strong one. Do not reuse a password from another place, and never share your password with anyone — including anyone who claims to be an administrator.
Keep your device updated. Let your phone, tablet and computer install their updates, and keep your browser current. Updates close the doors that attackers use.
Be careful with links and downloads. Open links and files only from pages you trust. If a message pressures you to hurry, stop and check — pressure is a trick.
Sign out on shared devices. If you use a computer or phone that others also use, sign out when you finish.
Children and families
Children should browse with a parent or guardian knowing where they go. Use the parental controls on your device and in your browser, keep children's accounts in their correct age band, and teach children never to share their name, school, address, photographs or passwords with strangers online. If a child is approached by a stranger online, tell a trusted adult at once and use the reporting links on our Law links page.
If something goes wrong
If you believe an account or a page is being misused, contact the project's own support address shown on its site. If a child is in danger or you see exploitation, do not wait: use the official reporting links on the Law links page — they reach the people whose work is answering exactly that.
