TOPICS COVERED ON 3/15

Ways to be Safe and Protect Personal Facebook
- unique username
- strong password – unrelated to you (no pet name, address, …)
- think before you post
- only accept friends you know
- report things that look suspicious
- adjust privacy settings and review often. This is possible to do on any of your devices that are connected with your Facebook!
  - Tablet / smartphone: Look for the 3 horizontal lines on your device after opening Facebook. It will probably be near a corner of your screen. Tap on it and scroll down until you see “Settings & Privacy” and then tap on “Privacy Shortcuts.” Then you will tap on “Review a few important privacy settings.” There are 5 topics for the Privacy Checkup. Go through each one and update your preferences!
  - Computer: Click the downward arrow on the top right hand corner of screen. Click on “Settings& Privacy” and then click “Privacy Checkup” to start the process.
