Social networking is immensely powerful and is here for the long run, but
we must learn to harness and control it. Here are five things you need to know
about how to protect your privacy on social networks.
Just because you're cautious, dont assume you're in the clear. The
b'ggest error people make is thinking that being cautious removes all risk.
Most of the harm we see across all ages js caused by stuff that other people post about you, sometimes even withoutyour knowledge. You can always be
identified and auto tagged! To take control, set up alerts with your name, monitor social networks and ask your friends and network to keep you informed.
Be careful about third party apps. There are hundreds of third party apps on social networks and smart phones that transmits detailed personal information to the companies that make them. You may enjoy playing with some of the apps, but it is best to maintain privacy control and use them Judiciously. Allowing companies to access your Twitter and Facebook
account, which is what you do when.you download an app, could also result
in personal data being shared not just for advertising, but even to your healthcare company.
Don't overshare. It's tempting to boast via your online megaphone that you're off on a beach retreat! Or that you've gained 15 pounds after the holidays! But if you do so, you may well be handing over your life's keys. This information is
now known to be used by home intruders, insurance companies, health care provides, employers, etc.
Resist accepting all friend and follower requests. When starting out on a
social network. it's tempting to accept every friend or follow request that you receive. On Twitter specifically, if you don't have your tweets protected, anyone will be able to follow you and see your updates. The basic thumb rule

strangers having access to your profile information and becoming a victim of social status jacking.
