Tips for Teens
Never give out your username or password for obvious reasons. Make sure to change your username and password frequently to ensure security to your identity.
Before making a lucid dreaming connection, make sure that the person you're connecting with is the age they claim in their profile.
Since our website is open to the public arena, so is your blogging information and profile. We don't recommend displaying information you wouldn't tell your close friend or relative. If you're trying to prove something to the world, then accept the responsibilites and potential backlash from your posted information.
We've limited the number of photos a user can upload to 3 to conserve a portion of privacy. If an image contains nudity and/or other pornographic content we ask that you report the image. When uploading your photos to the net, we recommend slightly blurring them so that predators have trouble duplicating them.
For Parents

How do I delete my child's profile?
Since users profiles are accessed through our log in system, we will need a username and password to access your child's profile. If you have your childs username and password you may remove their account by logging in and then selecting 'Account Removal'.
My child's site is still being displayed in google search results. How can I remove it?
If you're changed your settings in your profile to reflect search engine invisibility yet your profile still appears in search engines, you will need to contact the search engines individually to clear this matter. After a search engine spiders a members profile, luciddreaming can take the action altering meta-tags in your html to help search engines skip over their spidering techniques, however depending upon their functionality this may or may not work.
My child's picture/info is on someone elses site - what should I do?
If your child knows the person in real life, or you know the parent of the child, contact them directly. As for a photo being taken and posted of your child - in general, you're right to be wary of letting *anyone* take pictures of your child. You never know
when one of the photos may be posted to the Internet. We strongly recommend letting your child know not to let anyone she doesn't trust take a picture of him/her... and also, to let her friends know not to post his/her photo to the web.
Someone is threatening my loved one - what should I do?
If you'd like to delete the comment or threat from your child's site you'll have to login via their account with a username and password, click on settings, and then Manage Comments. You will then be able to delete the unappropriate comment.
Due to security reasons we can not provide more detailed information about a user such as IP, however, if you feel a crime has been committed, we recommended that you print out the threatening posts/comments. If your child knows who the person is in real life, then we recommend that they take those printouts to local law enforcement (either at their school or to the local/state authorities) and show them the printout of the threat.
Law Enforcement
luciddreaming is compliant with all police investigations, and we do so routinely. To ensure that we do not violate users' privacy without due process, we do ask that police investigators send us a subpoena before we pass along any user information.

If your profile is still being displayed in search engines you may need to contact the search engine directly for removal. luciddreaming does not make guarantees in profile removal from search engine query listings due to its 3rd party nature.
