Privacy is golden
Giving away sensitive information is something that could be dangerous. Whether on a blog, on social media or when talking to someone on a site such as Skype, it’s important to be a little cautious about what you share and don’t share. The first thing I would suggest is to keep it simple on social media profiles – just your name and home town will do.Something else I would advise doing is being careful with any pictures you decide to post. Try and make sure that there aren’t too many of your Son or Daughter, as you can never be entirely sure of who’s looking at them. If your car’s in any of those pics, I would try and blur the number plate or just crop the image so that it can’t be seen. The same goes for your home, house number and street name.Social media sites such as Facebook have privacy settings. You need to read the small print for each social media site’s privacy policy before setting up your profile. On Facebook, you should try only to accept friend requests from people you actually know, while you can ensure only your friends can see all your posts.
