settings under "Privacy" per default so
that the list of your confirmed contacts
is displayed to all eqiyeah.com Members.
However, you may change this setting at
any time by yourself to the effect that
your list of confirmed contacts is not
visible to anybody at all or only to
certain of your contacts, for example to
the direct contacts of your contacts
(i.e. second degree contacts) or only to
third degree or fourth degree contacts.
The
following of your personal statistics
are visible to all eqiyeah.com Members
at all times:

to do so. Entries in the guest book are
visible to all other eqiyeah.com
Members. eqiyeah.com has preset your
privacy settings under "Privacy" per
default to the effect that a guest book
is available and displayed to all
eqiyeah.com Members on your Profile. You
may change this setting at any time in
your privacy settings under "Privacy",
if you prefer not to have a guest book
on your Profile.
Other eqiyeah.com Members may send you
private messages to you in order to
establish contact with you. eqiyeah.com
has preset your privacy settings under
"Privacy" per default so that all
eqiyeah.com Members may send you private
messages. You may restrict the ability
of eqiyeah.com Members to send you
private messages at any time to the
effect that either no eqiyeah.com
Members or only selected contacts may
send you private messages, for example
only the direct contacts of your
contacts (i.e. second degree contacts)

contacts.

complete control over your own privacy
at all times!
4. Availability of your
Profile to Non-Members of eqiyeah.com

settings under "Privacy" for the
protection of your privacy per default
so that your Profile is not available to
non-members of eqiyeah.com and that your
Profile is not traceable by search
engines on the Internet. You may change
this setting at any time and thus make
your Profile visible to a larger
audience. If you choose to do so, you
can strongly increase your presence on
the Internet and at the same time
considerably enlarge your availability
for potential business contacts.
However, please note that if you do
release your Profile to non-members or
search engines, this will automatically
mean that the following sections of your
Registration Data are displayed to
non-members of eqiyeah.com:
Furthermore, such Voluntary Data that
you have specified in the settings under
"Privacy" to be visible to other
eqiyeah.com Members will then also
automatically be visible to non-members
of eqiyeah.com. Finally, a maximum of
four (4) of your confirmed contacts will
then automatically become visible,
chosen at random. You may suppress the
display of these four (4) confirmed
contacts at any time by changing the
setting for the display of confirmed
contacts under "Privacy" to any other
setting than "all members".
5. Groups
On the
eqiyeah.com Websites, eqiyeah.com offers
