Mobile Safety Tips

It is important to be aware and safe online at all times while you're using the Internet whether it be at school, work, home, or even on an Internet enabled mobile device such as a mobile phone, smart phone or a wireless personal digital assistant (PDA). Star Search Casting mobile gives users with mobile devices much of the same access and features available on a desktop or laptop computer. The same basic safety rules and tips apply when you access Star Search Casting and the Internet from mobile devices, but there are also extra precautions to be considered when using the Internet on-the-go:

• Stop and think before uploading images. Some mobile devices let you upload photos straight from the camera on your phone to the Internet. Although this may be a quick and easy way to share new photos, stop and think about what you're putting up before posting. Be sure that the photos uploaded are appropriate without sexually explicit material or showing identifying characteristics that would allow someone to find you in the real world. If an image violates Star Search Casting's terms of use, the image and the profile will be deleted.
• Don't access the internet while driving. Mobile devices are great for being in contact while you're on the go, but should not be used when your full attention is required for other activities such as driving.
• Don't save login and passwords on mobile devices. Given their portability, mobile phones and devices can be easily lost or stolen. If your login and password are saved on your mobile device anyone who may have possession of that device can access your Star Search Casting profile, friends, photos, etc. If your device is lost or stolen, immediately change your Star Search Casting password and call your carrier to deactivate the device.
• Be aware of your environment. No matter where you are accessing the Internet on your mobile device, look around to see who may be watching you or trying to see what you're doing. Put your mobile device away if someone you don't know is trying to see your profile or personal information without your consent.
