Golden Rules
Don’t publish what you don’t want others to know.
There is no true “Privacy” on the web.
What Facebook knows about you
Required at Sign Up
Name
Birthday
Gender
Always Public
Name
This helps your friends and family find you. If you are uncomfortable sharing your real name, you can always deactivateor delete your account.
Profile Pictures
This helps your friends and family recognize you. If you are uncomfortable making your profile picture public, you can always delete it by hovering over your photo and clicking "Change Picture."
Network
This helps you see whom you will be sharing information with before you choose "Friends and Networks" as a custom audience. If you are uncomfortable making your network public, you can leave the network.
Username and User ID
These allow you to give out a custom link to your profile or Page, receive email at your Facebook email address, and help make Facebook Platform possible. Learn more.
What we optionally share

New Timeline
When you launch it, take some time to review your timeline
Delete the embarrassing, awkward and other moments you want to forget.
Status and Picture Settings
“As a general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a sharing icon, the information will be publicly available.”
Default is “Public”
Your lists
When you share information with others, they can also choose to make it public.
Who is accessing your info?

Facebook Cookies
Oops! Who was caught
Cookies - tracking when not logged into Facebook
Profiles for nonmembers
Deleting from view - but not really deleting
Safety/Privacy and Hijacking
Change your password regularly
Do not use: kid name, pets name, birthdate
Use: Numbers, Symbols, multiple words,
Use different passwords for different sites – so one hack doesn’t give someone access to everything
