Photo Overview

Overview

Photos on MassageExchange.com are not "sent" as e-mail attachments. Instead, photos are uploaded to your photo gallery for others to view. This is far more convenient than off-site e-mailing and protects your privacy since you need not disclose your e-mail address.

You may designate one photo as your Primary Photo, to be displayed on your profile and included in notifications to others.

Members may upload tasteful nude photos, but no sex acts, please. These are visible only to members who have selected "Nude Photos?". (Default is "No".)

Photo Gallery

Galleries

MassageExchange.com members have three galleries and each may hold up to 26 photos. Members with photos have a Photo Gallery button on their profile to display their photos.

Standard

Private

Credentials

Standard:	Photos all members may view.
Private:	Photos only visible to those you grant access. Learn More
Credentials:	Document images – only visible to those you grant access.

Standard Gallery

Your Standard Gallery is attached to your profile. Any member may view it via the Photo Gallery button on your profile. Since your Standard Gallery is attached to your profile, the photos will be effectively sent (automatically) with each message (e-mail or greeting) you send.

Private Gallery Learn More

Photos uploaded to your Private Gallery photos are private. You may grant access via a Photo Pass.

Grant Access with a Photo Pass

To allow a member to view your Private Gallery, send a Photo Pass by clicking Photo Pass in an e-mail or

greeting. See sample screen below...at right...

Viewing with a Photo Pass

Recipients who receive your Photo Pass will see (at the top of the message you've sent) a button to view your Private Gallery photos:

Photo Pass - View My Private Gallery

Rescind a Photo Pass

You may rescind Photo Passes previously sent to one member or all members, thereby withdrawing access to your Private Gallery:

Find the Photo Pass containing message in your Mailbox Sent folder. Messages containing a Photo Pass are tagged with the icon.
Click the message.
Click the Rescind Photo Pass button below the message (bottom left). You'll then be given a choice of which Photo Passes to rescind - one, all to a user, or all sent to anyone.

Credentials Gallery

Fraud has become too common on the Internet. Many social networking sites have attempted to address this issue in various ways. MassageExchange.com has addressed member verification via optional* (and free) Credentials. Credentials are documents that verify identity, training, or professional status; see Credential Categories below.

* Credentials are normally optional, but may become mandatory if: ➀ a member receives a large number of Credentials requests and ➁ a staff review determines verification of said member is advisable. In any case, Credentials remain confidential; see Privacy and Sharing Credentials below.

Credential Categories

Credentials fall into one of these categories:

Credential Type	Document(s)	Minimum Details
Identity	Headshot holding: • Driver License • Passport/Passport Card • State Photo ID Card • Military Photo ID Card • Tribal Photo ID Card	See Photo Verification Instructions
Professional	• Bodywork Diploma • Certificate of Completion • Massage Therapist License • Student Transcript	Your full name, bodywork organization, topic of study, authorizing signature, and issuance date.
Non-bodywork Diploma	• Diploma • Certificate of Completion	Your full name, organization name, topic of study, authorizing signature, and issuance date.
General	• Business Card • Vaccination Card	Your full name, and, if relevant, the issuance date. A vaccination card should show the card front with your name and doses, not the back, reminder portion, of the card.

All credential documents must be unaltered* and in full accurate (original) color.

* Permitted redactions: passport ID, driver license ID, social security number, your signature, your street address, and your birth day/month (but not year).

Bodywork Students/Therapists

A Professional Credential is necessary to verify your status. New Student/Therapist accounts will be classified as Enthusiast until a Professional Credential is uploaded to one's Credentials Gallery. Identity and/or General Credentials are optional.

Privacy

Our staff will review your credentials to verify your status, however your Credentials Gallery is otherwise private. If you have privacy concerns, do not share your Credentials with other members, or, perhaps, only with those you trust.

Verification Tags

Members with approved credentials will show these verification icons next to their username:

	Identity Verified	Identity verified by uploading a driver license or similar document
	Professional Status Verified	Formal bodywork training and/or their bodywork therapist credentials verified by uploading one or more official documents (diplomas, etc.)

Requesting Credentials

In a member's detailed profile, click the button Request Identity Credentials near the bottom of their Personal Information section.

Sharing Credentials

Following an Identity Credential or Professional Credential upload, our staff will verify your account. For your privacy, sharing your Identity Credential or Professional Credential with fellow members is not required to verify your account.
As already mentioned above, do not share any credentials containing a drivers license or passport number, your social security or similar number, your signature, your birthday day/month, or your street address.
Do not share your Identity Credential with anyone you deem suspicious, or if our website has tagged the member with a suspicious or other such alert at the top of their profile.

To share your Credentials, select

Credentials Pass

when sending an e-mail.

A Credentials Pass can only be sent with an e-mail. Viewing a sender's Credentials Gallery requires the same permissions as reading their e-mail: ① the sender or viewer must be , or ② both are , or ③ the Credentials Pass was sent with a T-mail.

Viewing Credentials

Recipients who receive your Credentials Pass will see at the top of the message you've sent:
