Cyworld is your world. Make new friends, express your ideas and thoughts, and showcase your creative side. But please keep in mind that Cyworld is a public space. There are certain guidelines that you must follow to ensure that you, and your Cyworld friends and co-Club members, have a safe and enjoyable experience in Cyworld.

1)Do not share personal information, such as your full first and last name, phone number, school location, IM name, city or state on boards, chats or any type of posts. Once you post this information -- it's out there and available for anyone to see.

2)Do not reveal personal information about your friends or other people.

3)It's great to make new friends on Cyworld, but do not meet anyone you don't really know in person without:

a.bringing another person with you

b.arranging to meet in a public place, or

c.notifying an adult of your plans.

4)Think before you post! Don't upload any embarrassing photos or post any stories that you wouldn't want your friends or parents to see.

5)Don't respond to anyone or anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. If you see or receive any harassing, threatening, hostile or inappropriate posts, report it to us immediately using the "Report" link that appears next the post, or email to abuse@cyworldinc.com.

6)Talk to your parents, if you live at home, about their expectations and understanding of how you use the Internet and Cyworld. It can be as helpful to them as it is to you.

Parental Tips

Cyworld is popular with teens because it allows them to freely express themselves as well interact with new and old friends online. As a parent we encourage you to talk with your teens about making safe decisions with respect to how they interact online.

Here are a few guidelines to help you.

1)Talk to your kids to find out what they do online and about the sites they visit. Take the initiative and learn about the sites they frequent most.

2)Set reasonable guidelines so your kids know what they can and can't do online.

3)Encourage your kids to come to you if they encounter a problem online. You, or they, can report any problems or inappropriate behavior to Cyworld at abuse@cyworldinc.com.

4)Remind your kids that the Internet is a public place and that they should be careful about posting: 1) anything that might embarrass if seen by adults or others or 2) personal information that they wouldn't want the world to know such as IM screen names, telephone numbers, addresses, etc.

5)But while they shouldn't post personal information listed above, they should represent themselves accurately, specifically their age. Cyworld members must be at least 13 years old.

6)While making new friends online can be a good thing, warn your children that not everyone online does tell the truth and to be cautious about that.

7)And most importantly, to tell you if they want to meet a new online friend in person. If you think it's safe, help them arrange the meeting in a public place and make sure they are accompanied by an adult or friends.
