Social Media Smart Checklist

People love sharing their personal views and news about what’s going on in their lives via digital platforms.

But stop and think for a moment. This information — some of which is very personal — is going up on the

internet. Lately, especially in light of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the discussion relating to privacy rights

and social media sites has been the subject of broader public and political debate.

With this in mind, we’ve provided a checklist to help you protect your privacy and keep your social networking a

more rewarding experience.

 Read the social media site’s terms

▪ Pay particular attention to what information you are agreeing to share when you sign up for a social media account.

▪ Some free sites may gather and seel data related to what you look at to third-parties for marketing purposes.

 Don’t share private information like your full name and address

▪ With a combination of your first name and last name, cybercriminals may be able to guess your email address or purchase your email

address from the dark web.

 Be careful about posting photos on social media sites

▪ When in doubt, just share your photos privately with a trusted few.

 Adjust the social media platform’s privacy settings

▪ Before you share your post or pics, always be mindful of who can see, react, or comment.

 Know what types of personal data social media sites store and share

▪ When modifying your privacy settings on any social media platform, look for the “Apps and Websites” option under “Settings”.

 Consider carefully what personal details you provide in your profile

▪ All information that you provide can be stored and tracked, such as your hometown, schools, workplace, etc.

 Be aware of privacy concerns in the news, like the Cambridge Analytica story

 Avoid social media site posting regrets

 Address your online privacy concerns with Norton LifeLock

▪ If you’re concerned about managing and controlling your online privacy, think about installing Norton Privacy Manager. Or, for multiple

layers of protection on up to 5 devices, Norton™ 360 with LifeLock™.
