Remember that if you have selected to use your name as your username, this can reveal your identity in full or in part – unless you use a pseudonym.
We recommend that you exercise care in deciding which information to make available for disclosing on the Website, and be aware that depending on the level of information provided, you may or may not be anonymous. Please take a look at how much of the following personal details we disclose on the Website.
When you write a review on our Website and create an account, your username, review, location (country), the number of reviews you have written, and other additional information you have chosen to connect with your public profile will be visible on the Website.

When you write a review on the Website, we use your computer’s IP address (see 1.7 of this Policy, above) to approximate your location to the nearest country. This information is made available to other users of the Website.

If you connect to a social network, information such as your profile photo, your name, birth year, and approximate location will be collected from your associated profile and used to identify you on the Website. Subject to your privacy settings and the level of information available from the social network, users of the Website can use this information to identify which reviews you have written.
If you have chosen to preserve anonymity by using a pseudonym for your Mecedorama username, be aware that information from social network(s) can reveal your identity in part or in full and make it possible to identify which reviews you have written.
If your contacts or friends (referred to as “Connections”) on the Social Network have also connected with Mecedorama, we display on the Website how you are connected to these connections through the social network. This is only visible to you. Other people on Mecedorama cannot see your connections from social networks.

We therefore recommend that you keep such documentation for 12 months from the date of your review. We explain the type of documentation you should send us here.
