Be Discreet and Communicate in Generalities<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t post information that would expose you to identity theft or malicious threats.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Home or business addresses, phone numbers, job titles, birth dates, schedule details, daily routines, and business or family details. It’s a great idea to let your neighbors know you’re headed out on vacation so they can keep an eye on your house or apartment. It\u2019s not a great idea to post those vacation plans on public sites.<\/p>\n

Remember What You Have Already Said Online<\/h2>\n

You’re just making it too easy for someone to guess your password<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you mention your pet’s name, nickname, favorite song, movie, TV show, birthday, and other seemingly innocuous info on social media sites, make sure those words or phrases are not part of your passwords for other sites.<\/p>\n

Check Your Privacy\/Posting Settings<\/h2>\n

Every social media site has different ways to lock-down or limits the information your share.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can’t cover every single social network, but we can suggest that for any sites you log in to, it’s crucial that you review your account settings, privacy settings, profile info and the site’s privacy policy and terms and conditions.<\/p>\n

Profile<\/h3>\n

You can adjust what is seen by complete strangers, control how people can contact you on Facebook, limit who can post to your wall, and even block specific users from seeing your basic profile information. Get the details at Facebook Basic Privacy Controls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Posts<\/h3>\n

Before you post, look at the audience selector. Use the dropdown menu to choose who you want to share a post with.
\nOptions are: Public,\u00a0 Friends (+ friends of anyone tagged), Only Me, Custom.<\/p>\n

Tagging<\/h3>\n

You can also review tags from friends before they appear on your timeline by turning on Tag Review<\/a>. Anyone can tag you, but if someone you\u2019re not friends with tags you, you\u2019ll always receive a request to approve the tag before it appears on your profile (timeline).<\/p>\n

Friends List<\/h3>\n

Think carefully about who you allow to become your friend. Once you have accepted someone as your friend they will be able to access any information about you (including photographs) that you have marked as viewable by your friends.<\/p>\n

Apps<\/h3>\n

Disable options, then open them one by one. It’s better to disable an option until you have decided you do want and need it, rather than start with everything accessible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
