43 Security and Privacy Aspects of Calls |
|
|
44 ------------------------------------- |
|
|
45 |
|
|
46 It's crucial to stay aware of what information you share and prioritize your privacy: |
|
|
47 |
|
|
48 **1. Sharing Your "Online Presence" and Address:** |
|
|
49 |
|
|
50 Engaging in a call shares your unique online address (akin to a phone number), indicating you're online and active. It's like turning the lights on at home, letting others know you're present. |
|
|
51 |
|
|
52 **2. Privacy Implications:** |
|
|
53 |
|
|
54 Although it's common to share this information with trusted contacts, unfamiliar users may infer your activity patterns and general vicinity. |
|
|
55 |
|
|
56 **3. Safety Recommendations:** |
|
|
57 |
|
|
58 - **Be Selective:** Make or accept calls only with those you trust. |
|
|
59 - **Network Usage:** Though designed to function anywhere, remember that public networks (like those in coffee shops or hotels) might be less secure. |
|
|
60 - **Stay Informed:** For any queries or concerns, join our community chat room. You can find it at the provided link on our website. |
|
|
61 |
|
|
62 Remember to stay vigilant and make informed decisions while using the call feature. Regularly check for updates, as we continually work to enhance your experience. |
