Protecting yourself on the network
A short, practical guide. Read it once — it takes two minutes and may save you trouble later.
- 01
Choose a pseudonym if you have any doubt
If the sacrament is restricted in your country, or could be in the future, register under a name that does not identify you. Display names can be anything. Your email is private to us.
- 02
Treat the public fields as truly public
Display name, bio, avatar and socials can be seen by anyone, including search engines. Don't put anything there you wouldn't put on a postcard.
- 03
Don't publish exact addresses without consent
Many centers gather in private homes. Listing a precise address without the host's consent puts them at risk. Use the city-level visibility when in doubt.
- 04
Think before adding photos
Avoid photos that identify specific people, especially in countries where the practice is restricted. A landscape, a building, a symbol — these tell the story without exposing anyone.
- 05
If something changes, contact us
If the legal situation in your country shifts, or you simply changed your mind, DM us on Instagram at @santodaimemap. We will help you scrub or rename what you've published, or delete your account entirely.
