Personal Contact Information
Ingenio recommends that you do not disclose personal contact information to members. If you choose to reveal this information, you do so at your own risk. Additionally, Ingenio does not recommend or encourage members to use the Ingenio site to solicit other members to meet with them in person.

To protect the privacy of our members, Ingenio does not permit Advisors to post their personal contact information, such as email address, phone number, mailing address or Instant Messenger ID, on their listings or home page.

If a member leaves personal contact information about themselves or about you in feedback, please contact playfair@ingenio.com so that we may remove it. Please see the Privacy Policy if you have questions about the use of information you provide to Ingenio.

Category Requirements
Advisors may only create listings that are relevant to the category they are placing them in.
Additionally, Advisors must have specific credentials verified to post listings in the following categories:

Personal Websites

Advisors are not permitted to include the URL to any outside websites in listing titles or member photos.

Advisors are not permitted to post links/URLs on Ingenio to the following types of websites:

Merchandise-only sites.

• Websites that include personal contact information, such as a non-Ingenio phone number.

• Websites that solicit payment outside of Ingenio for a competitive service. Ingenio considers the following to be a competitive service: phone calls, chat, recorded content, and content exchanged via email, such as graphics or computer work.

Please note that Advisors may not provide members with alternative payment methods (such as PayPal, personal checks, money orders, etc.) for the above-mentioned services.

If you are unsure whether or not you are permitted to post a link on Ingenio to your personal website, please request Play Fair to review it, by filling out a Support Form and selecting "Play Fair Inquiry" from the drop down menu, Please be sure to include your member name and the URL of the website in question so that we may review it.

Banner Ads
Ingenio does not permit Advisors to post banner ads on their listings or home pages.

Feedback
Ingenio does not permit Advisors to take any actions that may undermine the integrity of the feedback system. This includes leaving positive feedback for accounts that you own using secondary usernames or third parties.

If you would like to dispute feedback left on your listing, your proper avenue of complaint is to fill out a Support Form and select "Ratings / Feedback" from the drop down menu. You should not email the member to complain. Also, Advisors may not post customer's member names or information on their listings without their consent as such activity constitutes harassment, which is a violation of the Member Agreement.
