Be mindful of what you share:

Think carefully before posting personal details, sensitive information, or potentially embarrassing content.

Periodically clean up your social media accounts:

Audit your content:

• Go through your posts and photos, deleting anything that is outdated, embarrassing, or could be considered inappropriate.
• Check for old jokes, references to past internet trends, or content that might be offensive.
• Review comments on your posts to ensure they are appropriate.

Manage your following list:

• Unfollow accounts that you no longer find interesting or that post content that doesn't align with your values.
• Consider using the "acquaintances" list on platforms to see less content from people you don't interact with often.

Update your profile:

• Change your profile picture—perhaps to something current, professional, or more anonymous.
• Review and update your bio to accurately represent yourself or make it more anonymous.

Delete unused accounts:

• Identify any old social media accounts you no longer use and either deactivate or delete them completely.

Be mindful of sharing personal information:

• Limit the amount of sensitive personal information you share online.

Regularly review your accounts:

• Make it a habit to periodically check your social media profiles to identify any content that needs to be removed or updated.

Key reasons to adjust privacy settings:

• Prevent unwanted access:

  By setting your profile to private, you can limit who can see your posts and personal information to only approved connections, preventing strangers from viewing your content. 

• Protect sensitive information:

  Control which details like your phone number, address, or workplace are visible to others. 

• Manage your digital footprint:

  Decide what information you want to share publicly and what should remain private, creating a more controlled online presence. 

• Reduce cyber threats:

  By limiting access to your information, you minimize the potential for cybercriminals to exploit your data for phishing scams or identity theft.

Key reasons to turn off location tracking in apps:

• Privacy protection:

  By limiting which apps can access your location, you control what information is shared about your movements and whereabouts. 

• Prevent unwanted tracking:

  Companies might use location data to track your movements even when not directly related to the app's function, creating a detailed profile of your daily activities. 

• Enhanced security:

  Restricting location access can make it harder for individuals or entities to pinpoint your exact location, potentially reducing the risk of stalking or identity theft.
