Protecting privacy

People are concerned about their privacy on the internet.

I have come up with the following provisional “rules” for protecting the privacy of family members and others who could be mentioned on this blog.

  • I won’t mention the name, or other identifying details, of anyone living, without getting their consent
  • The same goes for photographs
  • I’ll try to avoid revealing someone’s identity indirectly
  • I may refer to living people by an alias or by initials, if that’s not too revealing.
What do other people do? I will look at other blogs to get an idea.

    I name people who are dead and refer to the living as dad, mum, little brother, nephew, and husband as Mr Jax. I guess anyone who knows me will know who they are. I usually send a link to the post involving them, or even an email before posting. Seems to work, so far.

      A good, common sense, solution. Thanks Jackie
