THIS ARE SOME PRECAUTIONS YOU NEED TO TAKE TO STAY PRIVATE AND SAFE:)
Make friend lists
Categorise your “friends” into various groups according to what information you want them to have access to, from “Work Friends” (minimal access) to “Acquaintances”, “Family” and “Close Friends” (full access).
Restrict access to profile
To prevent strangers from accessing your page, it is advisable to allow “Only Friends” to access your profile.
Remove your address and phone number
This may be useful information for your real friends and family but imagine what will happen if the information falls into the wrong hands.
Remove your full birthdate from your profile
dentity thieves can use it to obtain more information on you and even gain access to your bank or credit card account. If you want to remind your friends about your birthday, remove the year.
Be careful when registering for new applications
It is all fun and exciting to try out new games and quizzes but what many don’t realise is that you may unknowingly be sharing all your information with the developers who can then sell your data or spam you.Go to “Privacy Settings” and tick “Applications”, followed by “Settings”. Uncheck the boxes for the personal information that you do not want them to obtain.
