Personal Privacy, Anonymity, and Discretion

.

Be discreet; and respect privacy and anonymity.

What we do is a very private part of people's lives. We do live our "mundane" lives in the “real world” and our involvement in the tickling scene may be something we must keep separate from our professional identities. What we see and hear at in the tickling social scene, should stay there. If things we do in our private social fetish scenes were to be revealed in their mundane situations it could seriously affect relationships with friends, family, and work situations. Many of us do not use last names if we prefer anonymity. Some may feel comfortable exchanging real names when we know each other well, but generally in parties or the social environment we keep that information private.

Do not take advantage of others. If someone gives you their personal information such as a phone number or an e-mail address, you do not have an automatic right or permission to give that information out to others. Do not mention anyone at a party or even a tickle social munch to those not at the party without that person's express permission. Especially do not post anything to the net that identifies someone else without permission. Or check with people in advance, with a copy of your post, before you put it up in a public forum. The standard is that details of parties are not mentionable publicly unless stated otherwise. Ask the hosts if you are in unsure about this.

Revealing personal information about people is called “outing” someone. Don't talk about someone else's activities in tickling to anyone outside our community that doesn't have a right and need to know. We take must privacy very seriously. And those who do not respect this special privacy should be excluded from the community.
