Keep it private
At Prebait, we believe that people should have control over how they share their information and who can see it. As we all know there is huge problem with illegal poaching and netting in our country which we have noticed has lead to very poor reports being published on the various internet forums. On Prebait people can only see the profiles of confirmed friends and the people in their networks. You can use our privacy settings at any time to control who can see what on Prebait.
