=Privacy= How much information is it safe to share over the internet?


 * Your real name?
 * You age?
 * Your school?

The dangers of sharing personal information can be financial (identity theft,) predatory, and also contribute to your digital footprint. Many sites ask you to register. You do not have to use your real name. You should never include your address or phone number. Legitimate web sites are not a problem, but hackers do exist.

 * [|Facebook] ** **, Instagram and other social networking sites**
 * Set your site to private.
 * Be careful with IM
 * Don't post things that may embarrass you in the future
 * Don't give details in your away message
 * Don't reveal your town, school, parents' names, sport's teams
 * Remember that once you send something you have lost control of it.

If someone on a social networking site is making you uncomfortable---report them to the site administrators.
