Yes, the posts in Penntags, including your Pennkey username, are visible to anyone searching the web.

At present user identities can only be displayed as Pennkeys.

We have no intention of removing posts from Penntags unless we need to. However, if a post has not been used (no one, including the owner, has clicked on it) for over two years, we may remove it. The library will make an attempt to contact you if we plan to remove your post.

URLs don't last forever. While we will endeavor to keep Penntags links stable, we can not guarantee that webpages you link to will not be removed or changed. If you find that one of your posts links to a webpage that you did not intend, we encourage you to change/remove it.

We are considering providing access to Penn alumni. However, at this point, access is restricted to current Penn Faculty, Staff and Students. We will offer the option of exporting your Penntags to a similar service like del.icio.us, or as a stand alone file, however.

The content in PennTags is subject to the University's Policy on Appropriate Use of Electronic Resources policies in Handbook for Faculty and Academic Administrators, the Penn Book , and the Code of Student Conduct.
If you find content in PennTags that you would like to report, please send the link and your contact information to penntags@pobox.upenn.edu
