Facebook: Control Your Privacy Settings
Are you concerned about your online privacy when using Facebook? Did you know you can decide exactly who sees the separate pieces of your Facebook Profile?
Setting your privacy settings is easy to do. While you are on your facebook page, go to the upper right-hand side of the page. Click on the menu on “Settings”. Click “Privacy Settings”. Now click “Profile Information”.
You will see the following categories:
- About Me
- Personal Info
- Birthday
- Religious and Political Views
- Family and Relationship
- Education and Work
- Photos and Videos of me
- Photo Albums
- Posts by Me
- Allow friends to post on my Wall
- Posts by Friends
- Comments on Posts
Each of these sections gives you the opportunity to change settings. The following are your choices:
- Everyone
- Friends of Friends
- Only Friends
- Customize (allows you to exclude individuals from seeing these areas)
By using these different privacy settings you can control exactly who sees each piece of information that you put on your Facebook profile.
Remember, you always have the choice to leave sections of your profile blank if you do not want to share certain information with anyone.
How do you use your privacy settings?
