Everything on this post is of the highest importance but I feel this one gets overlooked a lot in this community. Girls, DO NOT UPLOAD ANY PICS YOU HAVE ON ANY ACCOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR SUGAR LIFE TO ANY ACCOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR VANILLA LIFE. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Any and all pictures associated with your sugar life should be taken solely for that purpose. I donāt care how good you look in that selfie girl do not not let a sugar pic go anywhere near your vanilla life.Ā
Always, always, always remove EXIF data from any picture uploaded to a sugar site or sent to a POT/SD. You can learn about that here. I chose to share this link because it shows you how to turn of geo locations on your iPhone so you donāt even have to worry about removing EXIF if you donāt have your geo location on. There are plenty of free websites and apps that offer this service so you donāt have to remove it manually from the files on your computer.Ā
Social Media
Social media can be your biggest enemy. We see stories all the time of POTS or SDs finding SBs personal social media pages. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the privacy settings. Facebook is probably the worst of the lot. Here is the basic rundown of FB privacy settings and here are Ā 10 Privacy Settings to CheckĀ that I had no idea even existed! Set all possible accounts to have the highest privacy settings possible. Delete old accounts you no longer use.Ā
Donāt have just ONE email associated with your sugar life. I would suggest a minimum of two. I use one for tumblr and one for all my other sugar accounts. Iām soon creating other email account to become even more secure. Basically you will become more secure online if you use multiple email accounts to login to sites. God forbid your one or two emails get hacked, then what happens girl?Ā Passwords Use a different password for every account you have. Now youāre probably think guuuurl there is no way I can keep up with all those emails and on top of that have a different password for ALL emails and ALL sugar accounts. Listen. Download the Norton Identity Safe for Android or for iPhone. This is your new best friend. My favorites include the ease of copying passwords and viewing usernames.Ā
It also has three login options, touchID, a strong password or a PIN with the option of randomizing the keypad every time so if someone is watching they canāt guess your PIN!!Ā
You can also login in via their secure Norton web browser with just a click of a button!Ā
EvernoteĀ
Evernote has been hacked before a few years back but has had no problems recently, this a fantastic platform to save data and have it sync with all your devices! There are other platforms similar to Evernote but you have to pay to get a good one. I would just stick to Evernote and again use a different email with this account ideally that isnāt linked with anything else. Evernote will save your butt. I put all the details I canāt be bothered to remember about my POTS. You can set reminders and make to do lists. Very handy!
Screen shotsĀ
Keep records of everything. I take screenshots of conversations with POTS and also screenshots of their profiles. I save all this to the respective Notebooks in Evernote.Ā
IP AddressĀ
Learn how to find an IP address. This link breaks down how to find the IP from an email pretty easy.
Thatās it for now. Iām sure Iāve overlooked a few things. Donāt let technology get the better of you. Make it your bitch instead. Make this work in your favor ladies.Ā
