 TITLE: How Do You Protect Your Personal Information Online? CONTENT: 3\\. Avoid Oversharing on Social Media\n-------------------------------------\nYou probably know that posting photos of your address, driver's license, credit card or other personal information on social media is a no-no, since that data could get into the wrong hands.\nBut you may share sensitive details without realizing it if, perhaps, you have location services enabled. Thieves could gather data from your posts about where you live or the fact that you're currently traveling, meaning your house or apartment could be singled out for burglary.\nCheck your phone's settings so that you're not accidentally sharing your location with any apps, even beyond those you use for social networking. Otherwise, someone who steals or hacks your phone could gain a wealth of information about your daily patterns of behavior, which could affect your physical safety.\nFinally, make it a policy to accept friend requests only from people you actually know, even on a professional networking site like LinkedIn. The more strangers you're connected to, the less control you have over where your photos or personal details end up. END
