How sure are you that your Facebook profile is set to private? How sure are you that
nobody can snoop in and see information they shouldn't? today on Tech Tip
Tuesday I'm gonna be sharing with you how you can have a security check up of
your Facebook profile to make sure that everything is set to the best security setting that it needs to
hey welcome to another Tech Tip Tuesday my
name's Liron Segev where every Tuesday I share with you tips and tricks to make
you more productive, more efficient, and get more out of your system. If that
sounds cool to you smash that subscribe button and let's get on to today's show
so the first thing we're going to do is change our Facebook password click on
settings click on security and login go to change password click on edit and
here put in a nice new secure password now no "Password" no "Password123" two
not your name and your dad's name and dog's name something secure right
next up let's do a privacy checkup click on the Help button and choose
privacy checkup and now this is gonna go through the systems to see what you have
got set and who can see what for example in your post can everybody see it? public
friends, friends and acquaintances etc etc etc choose the one that you
want and click on next.
Now on your profile you can see your date of birth where do
you work you can see which apps and web sites that you used to connect and login
go through the settings choose the one that suits you and then finish your
check up.
Facebook posts are typically only
between you and your friends but if you do want to make something public that
everyone can see it's simply selec it right here and everyone can see it
You know when people tag you in the photos and you really wish they hadn't?
you don't want them to appear in your timeline? well you can control that as well
click on timeline and tagging review
your tagging options but this one I like is the review option click on edit and
now you can have full control that you can approve post before they appear on
your time line.
The next time you see one of these sponsored posts or an ad on
Facebook what you can do is click those three little dots next to that and then
you have an opportunity to see "why am I seeing this?" what it will do is will tell
you exactly why this particular advertiser chose to target you why would
you be perfect for this? you can also click on manage ad preferences and here
is the gold this is why you've been targeted for specific ads or specific
information. Facebook knows all these signals that you told it about your
interests your hobbies things that you're into now I would go down to where
it says your information and there's no reason to share certain information with
third parties like your job titles your relationship status your education etc
untick all of those and if you head further down you've got an even more
control over your edge settings so you can actually go through and say what
information you want to share versus watch information did not allow me to share
on Facebook you have the ability to like companies and pages and sometimes what
it does it puts your name at the top and saying you've endorsed this page or you
also licked this page well here's the way to disable that. There is no reason for
anyone to know which pages I liked and which company I have endorsed
because it looks like I've actually endorsed that company which is actually not true.
Right as you continue further down hide or add topics this is cool
we've got things like alcohol, parenting pets you can say I don't want to see
these ad for six months and I want to see these ads for one year or I never
ever want to see these ads so a good way to go and enable or disable the air as
you do add or wanna see for what period of time.
we know with Facebook in order to
keep it free we're gonna have to suffer with ads well it might as well be adds that we want.
but I just nice to see that we now have got much more granular control on
the canopy ads then we're gonna be served and what we can opt in and out of
before you go don't forget to smash that subscribe button if you're new here and
share this video with other people so they could keep their Facebook profile
safe and secure and I'll see you next week's episode off Tech Tip Tuesday
cheers for now
