Dear @Someone10, I believe that the system at 7 Cups is anonymous and that your identity is confidential. However,a person can compromise theiranonymity byvoluntarily sharinga lot of identifying details in the forum or chatrooms. For example, if Petunia123 states in aforum or chat room that [all of this is made up] she is in her 30s, moved to Alaska when she got married 9 years ago, teaches Spanish at a high school, is married to a dentist, has a girl 6 years old and 3-year-old twin boys -- well, it might not be too difficult for someone to figure out who she is. Moreover, if she postsa photo -- that's her choice, but she probablyloses some anonymity.
In the 1-to1 chats with an individual Listener, the information is completely private and no one searching for information about you could access that. All the Listeners agree to a strict confidentiality policy. I hope this helps!
