Never leave your email logged in at some suspicious place because someone else who will use the same system after your usage can misuse the email. He/she can send wrong emails and might change the password or something that will not allow you to access the same email again. So, beware of the hazards that can be caused by leaving the email addresses signed in; remove the saved form data as well so that no one can even know your email address too.

Make sure you have some statement to tell your visitors of website that you don’t do any sort of actions that are associated with you.

You need to mention that no agent is to be contacted on your behalf etc.
