General Safety Tips for Facebook

Adjust Facebook privacy settings to help protect your identity

Facebook provides a number of ways to protect you and your information. It is important that users proactively utilize those settings and remain aware of what information others can see.

 

Think carefully about who you allow to become your friend

Friends can see your personal information and photographs. Be sure you grant access selectively. If at any time you change your mind, you can remove friends.

 

Show limited friends a cut-down version of your profile

Rather than invite everyone to the full show, you can create limited friends who can see on selected parts of your profile. This is especially useful in keeping work contacts from having too much personal information.

 

Disable options, then open them one by one

Facebook defaults to the maximum access. Users should disable all of the options, and then grant access to each feature as you decide to use it.
