Privacy & Security on Luxauro Connect

Understand Luxauro Connect's Privacy Features

Luxauro Connect is designed with privacy as a core component, eschewing traditional data collection and selling practices to create a safer, more secure environment for its users. You can view our privacy policy here. However, personal security and privacy on any social media platform, including Luxauro Connect, largely depend on the user’s actions and awareness. Here are key practices to ensure your experience is secure and private. 

Best Privacy Practices on Luxauro Connect

Manage Your Profile Information Carefully.

  • Personal Information: Only include details that are necessary for the type of networking you intend to do. Consider what occupations, skills, and facts about yourself need public exposure.
  • Contact Information: Be cautious about sharing contact details. Utilize messaging features on Luxauro Connect to keep communication within the platform until trust is established.

Be Selective With Your Connections.

  • Connection Requests: Accept connection requests from individuals you know or whose identities you have verified through other means.
  • Following and Followers: Regularly review who you are following and who follows you to ensure no suspicious accounts are connected to yours.

Control Post Visibility.

  • Public vs Private Posts: Use private posts for sensitive content you only wish to share with a select group of people and public posts for more general, professional content.
  • Group Memberships: Participate in groups that align with your professional interests and are well moderated. Whether public or private, the group’s focus should dictate your level of activity and openness.

Direct Messaging Safeguards:

  • Unknown Messages: Exercise caution when receiving messages from non-connections, especially those asking for personal information or discussing financial transactions.
  • Sharing Information: Never share personal, financial, or sensitive business information over direct messages unless you fully trust the recipient and understand the risks involved.

When Reacting to & Sharing Posts:

  • Consider Before You React: Reactions to posts are visible to others, including your network. Think about how your reaction might be perceived by your professional contacts.

  • Sharing Content: Be mindful when sharing content. Verify the original source of information before passing it on to avoid the spread of misinformation.

Joining Discussion Forums

  • Engagement: Actively participate in discussions that add value to your profile and enhance your knowledge.
  • Privacy Settings and Norms: Adhere to forum rules, use appropriate language, and maintain professionalism at all times.

Regular Privacy Checks

  • Profile Reviews: Periodically review your profile privacy settings to ensure they align with your current career objectives and personal comfort levels with data sharing.
  • Updates and Changes: Stay informed about any changes to privacy policies or features on Luxauro Connect to make sure you are fully utilizing available protections.

Additional Privacy & Security Recommendations

  • By default your Luxauro Connect profile is set to “private”. This means that other Luxauro Connect members will not see your profile. Based on your preferences & Luxauro account type, you can change this setting to any of the following options:
    • GMG Professional
    • Luxauro Merchant
    • Founder
    • Backer
    • Company
    • Organization
    • Member
  • Optional: Set your last name’s visibility to “Only Me”. (While this is not necessary, you may want to based on your privacy preferences.)

Effective Privacy Security Depends on You

While Luxauro Connect is built to respect user privacy, effective security is a partnership between the user and the platform. By following these best practices, you can protect your personal information and enhance your professional presence securely. Always remember that the information you share not only impacts your privacy but can influence your personal and professional reputation online.
