Trading privacy for friends on social networking websites

Although you should assume that anything you post online – your personal information, comments and photos could be made public, there are some steps you can take to reduce the chance of this happening.

What you can do…
Basics – lock down contact info and profile info
Applications – delete unwanted, or edit sharing settings

Consider who you want your information shared with – or select ‘Custom’ for fine-grained controls.

Control how people contact you – who can search for you, send you messages and post on your wall

Control whether you have to review ‘tags’ before Facebook publishes them

Review apps that can interact with your personal information

Remove any unwanted applications

Control what information your friends’ applications can see about you

Change what Facebook’s “Partner websites” can see about you

See what information you allow to be shared with Search Engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo
