1. General Privacy of Contact Information

Here are responses tailored to the General Privacy of Contact Information FAQ for the AmericanBreeder.com website:

How does the website ensure my personal contact information is not visible to other users unless I choose to share it?

AmericanBreeder.com takes privacy very seriously, so your personal contact details, like your last name or street address, remain hidden by default. You have complete control over whether or not you display this information—simply go to your “Edit My Profile” page in the ACCOUNT dropdown menu to choose if and when to reveal specific contact details. This way, your privacy settings are always in your hands, ensuring that your information is shared only when you decide to make it visible.

Can breeders or sellers access my personal information if I inquire about an animal listing but decide not to proceed?

No, your contact information remains secure even if you inquire about a listing. Breeders or sellers will not receive your personal contact details if you choose not to follow up. AmericanBreeder.com’s system is designed to protect your privacy by not automatically sharing your information with breeders or sellers. So, you can inquire about listings with peace of mind, knowing your details will only be shared if you choose to engage further.

How does the platform prevent breeders or sellers from collecting my contact information for unauthorized marketing purposes?

AmericanBreeder.com’s policies strictly prohibit breeders or sellers from using your contact information for any marketing activities outside of your initial inquiry. All communication on the platform is designed to be transparent and safe, minimizing the risk of misuse of your information. Our Terms of Service are in place to enforce these guidelines, protecting you from unsolicited contact or unauthorized marketing by anyone on the platform.

Can I set up temporary communication links for inquiries, so my contact information remains hidden?

Yes, AmericanBreeder.com allows you to communicate through private messaging on the platform, so you can keep your contact information hidden. With this system, you can manage inquiries and connect with breeders or sellers without sharing your personal details upfront. This secure, built-in communication feature helps you decide if and when you’re comfortable sharing your contact information, ensuring you stay in control throughout the process.

Privacy and Security

How can I respond to inquiries without sharing personal contact information, and is it possible to restrict communication to platform messaging only to enhance privacy and security?

To respond to inquiries while keeping your personal contact information private, we recommend using AmericanBreeder.com’s internal messaging system. This platform-exclusive messaging allows you to communicate securely without revealing personal details like your email or phone number. To enable communication solely through platform messaging, avoid including external contact information in your ad listings or profile.

Additionally, you can manage your profile visibility settings. By default, details such as your last name and street address are hidden, but you can enable or disable these in the "Edit My Profile" section under the "ACCOUNT" menu. You can also choose to display social media links or your website if you wish, but these are optional.

For detailed guidance, the “How to Advertise” video series explains how to use the messaging system effectively and maintain privacy within your interactions.
