This actually may be the most important faq to a you. Privacy!

Obviously one of the nasty aspects of technology and internet is privacy breaches and spam. If .tel domain are specifically used to store a persons private info, then how can you protect it? I mean essentially you could be posting up your "little black book" to the entire world. But let's not panic. People seem to be very okay with posting a lot of personal information on facebook type sites, so perhaps I'm acting "old school" about privacy. Be assured though, that .tel developers have considered security their #1 priority. Let's break down the security measures.

.Tel domain name has implemented a friendly process. How this works?

Friend sends you a request. You choose to accept their request

At this point, the new friend would view your information. But of course you have full control over what a friend can view. During your .tel domain setup, you will decide which information will be public and which will be private.

What's even better is that there is an Advanced Privacy setting. Here you can choose specific information that people see through tel.domain. You can have settings for what information the public sees, what your employer sees, what your spouse sees, etc. It's very cusomizable in fact.
