PatientsLikeMe is designed to enable you to share health information with other patients. It is important to remember that anyone can join PLM and while you may form strong relationships with other PatientsLikeMe members, you should still be thoughtful about what you post:
1. Never share your email address in the discussions, newsfeed, or other text areas of the site. We provide a Private Messaging feature to give you a way to safely communicate with other patients without revealing your personal email address.
2. Avoid sharing your real name, physical address, phone numbers, or any other personally identifying information.
3. If you see another member making this mistake, gently warn them of the dangers and advise them to edit their post or reach out to a community manager to help guide them on what kinds of information they should and shouldn't post.
4. If somebody asks you for your private information, notify member support immediately.
