If you choose to share things publicly on Facebook, anyone with an account will be able to find and view your Facebook information, posts, and activity. This could impact your privacy in a variety of ways. For example:
You could be sharing personal information you’d rather keep private, such as your birth date and address. Anything you post, such as photos, comments, and status updates, will be visible to people you don’t know. Embarrassing or unflattering posts could negatively affect your personal and professional reputation. Third-party websites and applications can access and share information from your Facebook account.
Understanding basic privacy settingsWhenever you share something on Facebook, you can choose who you'll share with. In the infographic below, you can see the most common sharing options, including Only me, Lists, Friends, and Public.
If your Timeline is set to be visible only to friends, your posts and images will appear just as they do on your own timeline when you are viewing it for those people on your friends list.
Someone who isn't your friend on Facebook will get very little information. Your name, profile photo, and cover photo are still visible but your posts and images will be hidden from view.
Sharing and privacyThe things you share on Facebook are visible to a lot of other people. Facebook is designed to be more open and social than traditional communication tools.
As long as you're somewhat careful about the things you share, Facebook doesn't pose a serious risk to your privacy. Before you share anything on Facebook, such as a comment or a status update, you'll need to consider how comfortable you are with many people seeing that information. If you wouldn't feel comfortable sharing something in a public place, you may not want to share it on Facebook either.
Using Facebook's privacy settingsHowever you use Facebook, it's important to choose the privacy settings that will work best for you. Facebook offers two main ways to control your privacy:
You can apply privacy settings that set general rules about who can contact you and view your information. You can control who sees every individual thing you share.
