Keep your computer virus-free

Keep your browser and operating system updated with the most current versions and patches. Be sure to also scan your computer regularly for viruses and spyware. If you're using a public computer, like at school, make sure you always sign out of TwoPics when you're done (there's a "Log Out" link in the upper right of the site).

Use a strong password

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions when logged on. We encourage you to use ‘strong’ passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. We highly recommend that you use a unique password for each website you use. If you forget your password, you can reset it yourself at this link.

Moderating comments

If you see a comment that you think is inappropriate, you can delete it by clicking the ‘x’ icon next to the actual comment and it will disappear immediately. If you see a comment that you think is inappropriate based on our Terms of Use, you can report it to us for review by clicking the ‘Report’ icon next to the actual comment, choose and use the instruction to report the comment.

For Teens

A great way to stay out of trouble online is to talk to your parents or legal guardians about your use of TwoPics. Being able to maintain an ongoing, positive conversation with your parents about social networking experiences online and offline may make you more likely to talk to them when uncomfortable or potentially unsafe online situations come up.

When you take pictures of your friends or other minors, remember that they should never be sexually suggestive or violent.

Is what you are publishing something you'd want your future employer, parents or future in-laws to see? When you publish photos of yourself or a friend, think about the potential consequences. Once a photo is online, you never know who might see it. If it is copied or reposted, you might not be able to remove every copy and it could take on a life of its own.

Parent tips

Children under 13 years are not permitted to access TwoPics. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that your child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact our support team, and we will take steps to remove this information and terminate the account.

Talk about the nature of their digital world. Remind them that anyone can see what's on their pages - even if they think no one will. Potential employers and college admissions staff often surf social networking sites. Ask your teens to think about who might see their pages and how they might interpret the posts or photos.

Set some rules for what is and isn't appropriate for your kids to communicate, play, and post online. Posts with photos or comments about youthful misbehavior could come back to haunt them.

Let them know that anything they create or communicate can be cut, altered, pasted, and sent around. Once they put something on their pages, it's out of their control and can be taken out of context and used to hurt them or someone else. This includes talk and photos of sex, drugs, and alcohol. Tell them that online stuff can last forever. If they wouldn't put something on the wall of the school hallway, they shouldn't post it online.

What happens if I am being harassed on TwoPics?

Like you, we're continually surprised, moved, and entertained by the stories people publish on TwoPics. And, like you, we're occasionally dismayed when people use TwoPics for less positive purposes. That's why we count on you to know our Terms of Use and report stories you believe don't belong on the site. Think of the Terms of Use and the reporting pull-down menu as part of our ongoing conversation with you. We give you a structure that makes it easy for you to talk to us, and you become the eyes and ears of the site.

Since online harassment is usually rooted in "real world" relationships, reporting another user is sometimes just a temporary fix. Determined bullies may create new accounts on TwoPics and other social media services, so sometimes it is more helpful to deal with the person or issue offline by working with school officials, the bully’s parents, or other local authorities.

Watch out for suspicious links

In general, please use caution when clicking on links. If you click on a link and find yourself unexpectedly on a page that resembles the TwoPics login page, don't give up your username and password! Just type in TwoPics.com into your browser bar and log in directly from the TwoPics homepage. We will never ask you to download something or sign-in to a non-TwoPics website. Never open an attachment or install any software from an email that claims to be from us; it's not.

Personal details

Do not ever give out your personal details such as name, address, email or phone number. For security and privacy reasons, any photo that contains personally identifiable contact information such as name, phone number, email address or web site URL is not permitted.
