How to protect privacy on social media Follow
Protecting your privacy on social media starts with your account settings.
To tighten up your security, set your profile to private, control who you allow to follow you, and regularly review who can view your posts, stories, or tagged content.
When posting online avoid sharing any sensitive information, including your location, address, or even your birthday. Anytime you post real-time photos or stories, screenshots, or documents, you put your identity at risk so be mindful before you tap ‘share.’
Do not give any third-party apps connections to your social media account unless necessary as they are prone to data leaks.
For any interactions outside your known inner circle—like buying items online or joining public groups—use a secondary phone number with Hushed, which keeps your real number hidden while still allowing you to call and text, and ensuring you maintain control over who has access to your personal info and who doesn’t.
