Dear JPgroup.co.in Users,

JPgroup.co.in aims to provide you with a safe & secure environment in which you search and find an Artist

Our Customer Relations team ensures that every profile put up at JPgroup.co.in is screened for irrelevant and/or inappropriate content.
 
We also have strict abuse-prevention and reporting systems for those that do get through our screening systems.

In fact, we were the first to obtain third party certification such as TRUSTe (An objective third-party guarantee of your privacy on JPgroup.co.in.) and VeriSign (Certified payment security standards)

However, in ensuring your safety & privacy, we're limited to actions that are within our control. Therefore, it is necessary for you to exercise some simple precautions for your privacy & for a safe and secure experience.

Here are some simple guidelines YOU can follow to protect your privacy.

1.  Guard your anonymity
Our system of anonymous contacting (expressing interest, accepting/declining), and private messaging (Communicate section) is to ensure that your identity is protected until YOU decide to reveal it.

Do : Remember that you are in control of your online experience at all times. You can remain completely anonymous until YOU choose not to.

Don't : Don't include your personal contact information like name, email address, home address, telephone numbers, place of work or any other identifying information in your initial messages.

Don't send contact information until your instincts tell you that this is someone you can trust. It's okay to take your time.

2.  Start slow – Use emails initially
Set up a separate email account for communicating. Trust your instincts and start by sharing only your email address and communicating solely via email.

Do : Look for odd behavior or inconsistencies. Serious people will respect your space and allow you to take your time.Ask a friend to read the emails you receive - an unbiased observer can spot warning signs you missed.

Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it.

Don't : Don't use signature lines in your emails that include your phone numbers and addresses.
Don't use your regular or official email id for communicating with a person you don't know well.

3.  Chat on the phone
A phone call can reveal much about a person’s communication and social skills. Consider your security and do not reveal your personal phone number to a stranger.

Do : Use a pre paid mobile phone number or use local telephone blocking techniques to prevent your phone number from appearing in Caller ID. Only furnish your phone number when you feel completely comfortable and have some background information on the other person.
If someone gives you a phone number with a strange area code, check it out to make sure it's not a charge number before you make the call.

4.  Meet in a safe place
When you choose to meet offline it is a good idea to try and include either or both of your families. But if you trust the person enough to meet alone always tell a friend or your family where you are going and when you will return.

Do : When you decide to meet face to face with someone for the first time, choose a public place (such as a restaurant / cafe) at a time when many people are around and ensure your own transportation to and fro.
For the first meeting it is always good not to meet the other person alone. Take a friend or relat
