World Trade Help is all about help. This site's purpose is to connect people and organizations all over the globe to allow them to improve each other's lives. We would like to make this a safe, beneficial and welcoming environment for good people everywhere. Here are some safety tips to ensure that your experience on WTH is a positive one.

World Trade Help requires that people are honest about their age, gender, location and other registration information, and WTH also prohibits all types of scams and spam. However, we can't guarantee that everyone on the site is being honest.

1) Protect your name: Your profile represents you to the world. Do not share your password and allow others to use your identity. WTH will never ask for your password anywhere but in a login screen. Do not send your password in a private message, give it to anyone over the phone, or display it in any posted material.

2) Protect your identity: Be very careful about posting any personally identifying information, including your address, phone number and personal email address. Also, be careful posting text or photos that reveal where you can be found, including your school or office name/location.

3) Use your Privacy Settings:
You can choose who can see your profile and requests/offers of help, and which users you accept as Friends. Remember that some Posted Material, such as forum posts and comments on other User profiles, may be open to everyone, even people just browsing the internet.

WTH is for everyone. Remember that your friends, relatives, coworkers, neighbors, etc., have access to the site, so make sure that your profile and other posted material are either private or don't contain information you wouldn't want people to see.

4) Block users from whom you don't want to receive communications. You are responsible for your profile, so you can delete any entry from your Comments section.

Remove people from your Contacts list if you do not trust them or want them to have access to your profile.

5) When responding to a request, be sure to view the User's history - this may help you to decide whether or not the User is legitimate. Do not send your credit card numbers, social security numbers, or any other personal, financial information to any user on this site. If you would like to donate money to an organization, please do it through a third-party like Pay Pal, rather than sending any financial information directly. Please check out our warnings page for the latest scams. We delete users who we believe are running scams as quickly as possible, but please view our list of known scammers and their techniques.

6) Be extremely careful about meeting (in person) with people you don't know. People are not always who they say they are.

7) Tips for Parents:
The minimum age to register on WTH is 13. If your child is registered on WTH, you might want to monitor their access. Go over the risks associated with Internet networking sites, including the Safety Tips posted here. Ensure that your children know how to protect their identity, and can identify inappropriate content and communication. Also, communicate the important of reporting any violations, to make sure that WTH remains a safe and positive place to exchange help and communicate with like-minded people.

Please report violations immediately to report@worldtreadehelp.com:
- if you suspect someone has access to your account,
- if you see anything that violates the WTH Terms of Service Agreement, including abusive or obscene Posted Material
- if you receive chain letters and any other kind of "spam"
- if you receive any inappropriate or abusive communication (in private messages, Comments, etc.)
- if you believe someone is lying about age, gender, etc.

We will act on your information as quickly as possible.
