Whether or not consumers found love on Valentine's Day or just the illusion of it, there are plenty of precautions they need to take to maintain your privacy and consumer rights following this romantic holiday.

Jennifer Jolly, who writes about women and technology for Tecca.com, says when someone mixes romance with high-tech innovation, there is no limit to what can happen.

"In the afterglow of that wonderful romantic happening, you have to keep in mind that anything you do today will last on the Internet forever," says Jolly. "So if you post an update on your Facebook page and later this person turned out not to the person you thought he or she was, you can never go back and get that totally off the Internet."

In the giddy excitement of a new romance, it is easy to throw caution to the wind, but Jolly says that should not happen.

"If he wants a sexy picture of you, don't send him one," says Jolly. "Anything you say — tweets, texts — could come back to haunt you, so be careful with your words. Sexting, absolutely not. That's an absolute no-no."

Sharing can be caring, but Internet passwords should remain private.

"You have a hot date, you want to share your life, you want to share everything. Don't share your password," says Jolly. "It used to be the key to your apartment, now we have couples, especially young couples, teens, sharing passwords too, whether it's social media, social networks like Facebook or even [websites]. That is a huge no-no."

As for the best approach to take when it comes to online dating, it turns out your mother was right all along.

"Just like your mom will tell you with a new relationship to take it slow, take it slow online as well," says Jolly.

There is one area to move quickly on. If a new honey asks you to wire money, dump that person fast, as the relationship is a front for a scam.
