Legal statement
I have seen a legal statement on several profiles like this one:
WARNING PRIVACY NOTICE: Any institutions using this site or any of
its associated sites for studies or projects - You DO NOT have my
permission to use any of my profile or pictures in any form or
forum both current and future. If you have or do, it will be
considered a serious violation of my privacy and will be subject to
legal ramifications. My question is does/will it actually prevent
those with less than honorable intentions from using/copying
information from your profile for other use?
We do have a watermarked copyright notice on our photos and a
warning notice that states that we reserve our copyright on all of
our pictures, but threatening ''legal ramifications'' in a notice won't
amount to anything. The only way we could get anything out of it
would be if our pictures were used for profit without our
permission.
My question is does/will it actually prevent those with less than honorable intentions from using/copying information from your profile for other use?
NO, it will not.
When people register to be a member of any website, they checked that small box that says,
"I've read, understand, and agree with the terms of use..."
In that "terms of use" is the website's privacy policy.
The website's PRIVACY POLICY will supersede any privacy policy you can put in your profile. This is a given because you agreed to it.
If you disagree with the website's PRIVACY POLICY(or any of the website's policies), delete your profile and leave the site.If you have or do, it will be considered a serious violation of my privacy ...
Do you really think they(those with less than honorable intentions) care about your privacy
in a medium that's meant to be PUBLIC?
Now, let's get to the portion where it sends "terror" and "horror" to the hearts of those that dare violate your privacy....will be subject to legal ramifications
What legal ramifications????
If the perpetrator is in China, India, or Germany, how do you expect to bring legal action to those responsible?
Do you know who they are(assuming more than one), name, address, phone number, etc?
Maybe an IP address from an internet cafe that has been used by over 100 users in a 12 hour period.
Do you really have the time, money, and effort to initiate an investigation and then bring legal action?
Question: So, why do people put that privacy policy in their profile?
Answer: Because the false security it provides helps them sleep at night.
I've seen a similar statements going around Facebook and other
social media sites and assumed the same there as you folks here
have confirmed...that they're unenforceable words. I'm a nudist. I
CHOSE to create a profile here for the purpose of getting
information about nudism and, hopefully, get to know other
like-minded people, male, female, straight, gay, or somewhere in
between. I also CHOSE to post pictures of myself nude. Any one
who's seen those photos knows no one, in they're right mind, would
copy them and use them for another purpose. :) All that to say: I
could really give a rats a$$ who sees my profile...as long as I can
connect with other nudists.

About right.
I've seen a similar statements going around Facebookand other social media sites...
Monkey see, Monkey do....no one, in they're right mind, would copy them anduse them for another purpose.
Nudist photos have ended up in supposedly "nudist" websites(looks
more porn than nudist).
By the time users finds out that they're images are being used for
other purposes, IT'S TOO LATE. IT HAS SPREAD.
The next thing they do is play the game "whack-a-mole". They try to
get rid their pictures from one website, but others pop up to
another.
And if they make a really big super fuss about it, they get the
"streisand effect".

Good for you. Hope everything works out.
Just like the warning people put on their Facebook page, it has no legal standing.
Kinda like people in public, you can photograph them legally (at least most places). But if you do photo them and they say no, legally you still can, but now you're just being a di*k.
My two cents
Stay Naked!
