When you fill in your interest box on Facebook, the ads concerning the relevant products and services automatically pop out. Isn’t that creepy, yes, Fackbook is watching us. Therefore, it’s far more important to know the privacy settings that people normally ignore.
1. Sharing on Facebook
Controlling how you share content is quite complex and will probably make your head hurt, but it’s essential that you take a good look at the settings and decide for yourself what you want to share and with whom
2. Existing photos
Account>Privacy Setting> Sharing on Facebook> Customize Settings> Edit album privacy for existing photos
With this setting, you can go through your old albums and change the privacy setting for each one, including your wall photos
3. Checking in to places
Account>Privacy Setting>Sharing on Facebook>Customize Settings>Friends can check me in to places
Having someone else telling the world where you are can be unpleasant and even dangerous in some cases.
4. Connecting on Facebook
Account>Privacy Setting>Connecting on Facebook
Privacy settings for sharing content on Facebook are separated from the settings for connecting, which basically mean sharing information about you.
5. Apps you use
Account> Privacy Settings>Apps and Websites>Apps you Use
Remove all of the apps you’re not using and carefully review the permissions you’ve given each individual app.
6. Instant Personalization
Account> Privacy Settings> Apps and Websites> Instant Personalization
Opt-out of instant personalization on individual third-party websites, simply by clicking on “No Thanks” when asked about it.
7. Info accessible to your friends
Account>Privacy Settings> Apps and Websites> Info accessible through your friends
No matter how tight your privacy settings are, you’re still sharing some of your content and info with a group of people, even if it’s only your best friends. With this setting, you can set exactly what information is available to apps and websites if your friends use them.
8. Public search
Account>Privacy Settings>Apps and Websites>Public search
When someone searches for you on a search engine, they might get a preview of your public profile, which, in some cases, can be very revealing. So watch your digital footprints.
9. Friend lists
Friends>Edit Friends>Create a List
Create lists of your family members, close friends and business acquaintances; you can finely tune the details you want to share with each list.
10. Enabling HTTPS
Account>Account Settings>Account Security>Secure Browsing (HTTPS)
Facebook started introducing HTTPS support, which makes it a lot harder for someone connected to the same network to steal your password and other data.
