10. BEING PRIVACY SAVVY
• SHARE WITH CARE – WHAT YOU POST CAN LAST A LIFETIME:
Help your children understand that any information they share
online can easily be copied and is almost impossible to take
back. Teach them to consider who might see a post and how it
might be perceived in the future.
• PERSONAL INFORMATION IS LIKE MONEY. VALUE IT. PROTECT
IT.: Information about your kids, such as the games they like to
play and what they search for online, has value ‒ just like
money. Talk to your kids about the value of their information
and how to be selective with the information they provide to
apps and websites.
• POST ONLY ABOUT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM
POST ABOUT YOU: Remind children and family members about
the golden rule and that it applies online as well. What they do
online can positively or negatively impact other people.
• OWN YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE: Start the conversation about the
public nature of the Internet early. Learn about and teach your
kids how to use privacy and security settings on their favorite
online games, apps and platforms.
