Don’t publish what you don’t want others to

know.

Golden Rules

There is no true “Privacy” on the web.

When you share information with others, they can also choose to make it public.

What Facebook knows about you

& the world

NameThis helps your friends and family find you. If you are uncomfortable sharing your real name, you can always deactivateor delete your account.

Profile PicturesThis 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."

NetworkThis 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 IDThese 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.

Google+

Default is public

In order to use Google+, you need to have a public Google Profile visible to the world, which at a minimum includes the name you chose for the profile. That name will be used across Google services and in some cases it may replace another name you’ve used when sharing content under your Google Account. We may display your Google Profile identity to people who have your email address or other identifying information.

Posts and other content shared by or with you - such as photos of you - may be visible on your profile to those with whom that content has been shared. You can use the profile editor to see how your profile appears to particular individuals.
