Internet Safety Tips
- Post only information that you are comfortable with others seeing – and knowing – about you. Many people can see your page, including your parents, your teachers, the police, the college you might want to apply to next year, or the job you might want to apply for in five years.
- Remember that once you post information online, you can’t take it back. Even if you delete the information from a site, older versions exist on other people’s computers.
- Keep your information to yourself. Don’t post your Social Security number, address, phone number or bank and credit card account numbers – and don’t post other people’s information, either. Be cautious about posting information that could be used to identify you or locate you offline. This could include the name of your school, sports team, clubs and where you work or hang out.
- Consider not posting your photo. It can be altered and broadcast in ways you may not be happy about. If you do post one, ask yourself whether it’s one your mom would display in the living room.
- When posting an item for sale on the internet, be aware that that criminals can and do respond to those postings. Never go alone to meet someone to look at an item that you wish to sell or buy. Whenever possible, meet in public at a time and place that you feel safe. Remember when you are speaking and meeting with a potential buyer or seller, that person is a stranger.
