The Ultimate Facebook Privacy and Security Checklist

Prepare yourself for hacks and data breaches. Here are all the steps you should take to lock down your Facebook profile and control your privacy.

When social media started building traction in the early 2000s, privacy was less of a concern due to the limitations of social media platforms, and perhaps because fewer people had access to the internet. Nowadays, thanks to security breaches and data leaks, we're all very aware that our digital privacy is volatile.

With the vast amount of information available on your Facebook profile, it's important to protect your privacy against identity theft, hackers, and people who may want to gain access to your account. By limiting personal data accessible by others, you can protect yourself and those around you.

To help you out, we've put together a checklist of steps you can take to lock down your Facebook profile. We've separated these by the different sections found within Facebook's settings page.

It's all available on this free downloadable PDF cheat sheet.
