Then in December 2009 then you really pay attention and maintain your personal settings when Facebook led to recommendations settings, then perhaps you belong to be safe. But if you just choose the recommended settings of Facebook, then you'll want to see again what kind of information that people can see with this arrangement.
1. Who can see things that you pointed out (status, photos, videos, etc.
On the menu, first item is the Profile Information, click on that part. On the next page, look for Posts by Me. This part controls all the status updates, links, records / notes, photos, and video.
Then in December and then you just follow the suggestions Facebook default settings, then all that information can be accessed by all applications and other Facebook users.
There are good you change the setting to Only Friends than Everyone, that is really only the people who have become friends that you approve can see your profile developments.
Remember that setting 'All People' really means everyone who uses the internet can find that information. While the setting of Friends of Friends a bit more convincing, but if the number of friends you could have quite a lot so your information is available for thousands of people that you do not know.
2. Personal Data
Still on the Profile Information section, view the items to the third, fourth, and fifth, i.e. birthday, religious and political views, and family and relationship. Third is sensitive data, particularly dates of birth, because these data often become the data for identity verification (example: for some banking services over the phone).
If you are using Facebook the standard of December last, the third of this data can be viewed by anyone. There are good you also turn this into Only Friends for the same reason as before.
3. Is Google able to see data on Facebook?
Back to page Privacy Settings, click Search, the fourth item. It never issued a statement that Facebook does not pass the information to Google, and that people who search for a name on Google just Facebook users will be redirected to a page that the user profile, and only disclosed basic information only. This is true but you should see also the basic information that appears is whatever.
Item number two on this page, Public Search Result, has the right of the checkbox labeled "Allow". There are good you uncheck the box. If you want to compare the results then just try click on link " See preview" at about the end of an explanation or two items to that.
Links that may indicate what kind of profile views that appear for the person who was not your friend on Facebook but found your profile page via a Google search feature. Can you compare the difference between this view when the Allow box was checked or not.
These three settings above can be mastered in five minutes. Do not wait until there is new bad things about you secure your information.
