When it comes to online privacy, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First and foremost, remember that anything you post online is public information. That means that anyone – from your boss to your friends to complete strangers – can see what you’ve posted. So think carefully before posting anything personal, such as photos, addresses, or phone numbers.Another important thing to remember is that even if you delete something from your account, it may still be available somewhere on the internet. So if you’re not comfortable with something being public knowledge, don’t post it online in the first place.

Finally, keep in mind that people can find out a lot about you from your social media accounts. If you’re not comfortable with someone knowing certain things about you, make sure your privacy settings are set so that only people who you approve can see those details. And even then, remember that nothing is ever truly private when it’s online.
