But you should follow certain safety precautions which are discussed in this article.

Firstly, you must remember that this site is open to public and if you don’t want to make any of your information public then please don’t mention it on the chat room or on a profile page.

One of the main reasons behind using zwinky is to keep your real identity a secret so be careful not to post any private fact about you which will enable anybody else to track you. These include your real email address, home address, telephone or cell phone numbers, banking details among others.

If you want to avoid being harassed then it is preferable that you use a user name that will give no indication about your gender, your nationality, your age as well as your real name.

If somebody whom you do not know in your real life is pestering you with questions about your gender, your age and such other questions it is better to avoid such “friends” and do not get pressurized under any circumstances.

You can never be absolutely sure about virtual friends that you make in this virtual world. So be careful of them and never trust them completely as you have no way to know for sure whether they are telling the truth or not. Take every word with a pinch of salt.

The site zwinky.com offers membership only to people above thirteen years. Sometimes you may feel that by claiming to be older you will sound cool and mature. But this apparently harmless lie may put you in big trouble. And another very important point is that you should never arrange for meeting somebody with whom you have talked via Internet.

You should not post threatening or mean messages to others and avoid conversations in which you feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, using zwinkies are absolutely safe if you follow the above mentioned precautions, so create your very own zwinky today and enhance the joy that the world of virtual friendship provides you with.
