The Internet contains a wealth of information, unfortunately,
it may also contain personal details about you that you don't
want everyone to know. For example, your real name (lots of
people on the Internet use aliases, alter egos or nicknames),
street address, phone number, or e-mail address. When you go
online, sites you visit may be gathering information about you
without your knowledge. At The Partners Group we strive to help
our customers protect their privacy while using our services.

Safety Tips
This is a great place for both new and advanced Web users to
find information on using the Internet wisely.
The Partners Group Internet Safety Tips
Keep your passwords private, even from your best friend! Your
online service will never ask for them, so neither should anyone
else.
Use only your member name and/or e-mail address when chatting
or sending e-mail. Never give out personal information like
your name, address, or phone number. Always delete unknown e-mail
attachments before opening them. They can contain destructive
viruses.
Remember that nothing you write on the Web is completely private
- including e-mail. So be careful and think about what you type
and who you tell. Not everyone is as nice, cute and funny as
they may sound online. Never make plans to meet an online "friend"
in person.
