FUNDACIÓN IMO recommends, following instructions by the National Institute of Communication Technologies (INTECO) and the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) as to the use of social networks or browsing in web environments, executing the following actions (in case they are used some day):

• All Users are advised to resort to the use of pseudonyms and personal nicknames, with which to operate over the Internet, thus allowing them to feature a true "digital identity" that does not compromise the security of their personal and professional life. 

• Users are recommended to take special care when publishing audiovisual content and graphics on their profiles, since they may be putting at risk the privacy and intimacy of people around them in this case.

• It is recommended to review and read, both prior to user registration and subsequently, the general terms of use and privacy policy the platform makes available on its websites.

• It is recommended to properly set the privacy degree of the user profile on the social network, so it is not completely public, but only people who have been previously tagged as "friends" or "direct contacts” by the user have access to the information published in the profile.

• It is recommended to accept as a contact only known people or with whom you have some prior relationship, while not compulsively accepting all contact requests received and always researching, wherever possible and necessary, who is the person requesting contact through the social network.

• It is recommended not to publish physical contact information in the user profile, hence allowing anyone to know where you live, work or study on a daily basis or the entertainment venues where you usually hang around.

• Users of microblogging tools are recommended to take special care regarding the publication of information on places where they are at all times.

• It is recommended to use and publish only content regarding which the appropriate intellectual property rights are met. Otherwise, the user will be committing a civil wrong that is protectable by the national courts.

• Users are advised to use different usernames and passwords to enter the various social networks they are a member of.

• It is recommended to use passwords with a minimum length of 8 characters, alphanumeric and case-sensitive.

• All users are advised to have an antivirus software installed and properly updated on their computers.

• If the user is under fourteen, the consent of the parents or legal guardians is also needed. In these cases, wherever data is requested by a social network, the parents or legal guardians should be asked if they approve the subscription or not.

• Usernames and passwords should not be communicated to third parties nor shared with friends or classmates. These details are private and should not be communicated to third parties and/or strangers.

• Whenever there is any doubt about a situation arising from the use of social networks and collaborative tools, parents or legal guardians should be asked.

• The computer must be kept in a common area at home.
