Safety Tips on Bikinigreats
Bikinigreats aspires to be an environment where people can interact safely with professionals, their friends and the people around them. We have implemented many safety and privacy controls on Bikinigreats as part of our goal to enable people to share their information with only the people they want to see it. We are constantly improving our systems for identifying and removing inappropriate content and people from the site.
Children under 13 years old are not permitted access to Bikinigreats. In addition, parents of children 13 years and older should consider whether their child should be supervised during the child's use of the Bikinigreats site.
Despite Bikinigreats's safety and privacy controls, Bikinigreats cannot guarantee that the site is entirely free of illegal, offensive, pornographic or otherwise inappropriate material, or that its members will not encounter inappropriate or illegal conduct from other members. Consequently, you may encounter such content and conduct. You can help Bikinigreats by notifying us of any pornography, harassment or unwelcome contact by clicking on the "Report" link located on pages throughout the site. Bikinigreats will use its best efforts to review reports made through this site reporting tool within 24 hours and remove any content that is deemed to be a violation. If warranted Bikinigreats will also warn or disable the user responsible for posting the abusive content.
We ask that all users to report suspicious people and inappropriate content they encounter on Bikinigreats. We also strongly encourage users under the age of 18 to talk to a parent or a responsible adult immediately if someone online says or does something to make them feel uncomfortable or threatened in any way.
Remember that although using fake names is a violation of the Bikinigreats Terms of Use, people are not always who they say they are. You should always be careful when sending friend requests to, or accepting friend requests from people you do not know in the real world. It is always risky to meet anyone in person whom you don't know through real world friends.

What do I do if someone has posted a photo of me that I don't like?
Bikinigreats will only remove photos that violate our Terms of Use (e.g., pornography or copyrighted images). However, there are some things you can do if you don't like a photo of you on the site: To remove your name from a particular photo, simply view the photo and click the "Remove Tag" link next to your name. It will no longer be linked to your profile. Remember that you can only be tagged in photos by your friends. If you are having problems with someone constantly tagging you in embarrassing photos, just remove them as a friend from the Friends page. If you don't want the photo to be shown at all, please talk to the person who posted it. They should be respectful enough to remove unwanted photos. Unfortunately, Bikinigreats cannot make users remove photos that do not violate our Terms of Use.
For Parents:
How can I gain access to my child's account?
We are generally forbidden by privacy laws against giving unauthorized access to someone who is not an account holder. If you are a parent or school official, we encourage you to use software tools on your own computers to assist in overseeing your child's Internet access. Please do a search for computer-based Internet control technology on your preferred search engine to discover options that you may wish to pursue.
If your child is under 13 and you believe they have created a Bikinigreats account, please request that we permanently delete the account. Additionally, applicable laws may give you the right to access personal information they have provided before Bikinigreats follows its policy of promptly deleting such data. You may access and direct the deletion of such data by having them sign into the account and then deactivating the account, or making a request to Bikinigreats.
