Social Networks

If you join social network groups created by A.D.E.L.F.E (Adoption et Droits des Enfants pour une Liaison Familiale et Équitable.), please note that social network services are online platforms designed for communities of people who share interests and activities, or who wish to explore the interests and activities of others. These services are mainly managed online and offer users various possibilities for interaction. If you wish to participate, please follow these instructions:

• When you enter your personal data, you lose control of it. It can be recorded by all your contacts and the members of the groups you have joined, processed, and shared, even years later.
• Sometimes, by agreeing to join a social network, you grant the company that manages the service a license to use the material you publish online (photos, chats, writings, thoughts) without time limit.
• Most social networks are based abroad, as are their servers. In the event of a dispute or a violation of privacy, the laws of your country and the European Union are not always respected.
• If you decide to leave a social network, you can often only deactivate your profile, not delete it. The data and content you have published online may still be stored on the servers and in the computer archives of the company offering the service. Read carefully the terms of use and the privacy guarantees offered in the contract you accept when you register.
• Think carefully before entering your data online if you do not want it to be shared or used to your detriment. It is advisable to report any violation to the Data Protection Authority so that it can take measures to protect you.
• When you publish photos of other people or identify them, first ask yourself if you are violating their privacy. When in doubt, ask for their consent first.
• Beware of fake profiles. A photo, a name, and a few personal details are enough to impersonate someone online.
• Be vigilant with the information available online. Your date and place of birth are enough to obtain your tax code. Other information can help to find your bank or postal account, or your username and password.
• Use different usernames and passwords than those you use to access other sites, manage your emails, your online banking, etc. Change your password regularly.
• All opinions and statements expressed on social networks are those of the user who published them and are not necessarily shared by A.D.E.L.F.E (Adoption et Droits des Enfants pour une Liaison Familiale et Équitable.). Therefore, the user assumes full responsibility for any statement, publication, or exchange made on the pages of A.D.E.L.F.E (Adoption et Droits des Enfants pour une Liaison Familiale et Équitable.), releasing A.D.E.L.F.E (Adoption et Droits des Enfants pour une Liaison Familiale et Équitable.) from any liability that may arise from such content.
