Privacy Settings on Facebook
A great article was published in the BayEast Realtor magazine, it was written by Kim Komodo regarding privacy settings on Facebook. It never occured to me how much personal information I had on my Facebook page. After reading Kim’s article, I made some changes in what info I share on my Facebook page. Here is a quick list of some changes you may wish to consider making in an effort to strike the right balance between openness and privacy.
- Your profile, photo, location, fan pages and friends list are open to everyone. You may choose to make some of this private.
- Search sites can find your Facebook pages.
- Co-workers may be able to see your photos.
- Prospective employers may search and find questionable or offensive posts and pictures. Remove anything you would not want a prospective employer or your employer to know about you.
- Consider the email address you use…marketers can upload your email and learn a lot about you. Consider using a pseudo email address.
