LinkedIn Quick Facts

There are over 100 million LinkedIn users around the world. Aside
from the US, LinkedIn is widely adopted in India, Brazil, and the UK.
Users tend to share information related to their careers or jobs as opposed to photographs from parties or social events.
LinkedIn profiles tend to be more visible and searchable than in social networks such as Facebook.
Paid LinkedIn accounts have access to more information about other users, such as connections, than free accounts.
The type of information users can see about each other depends on how closely they are connected (1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree).

Managing your Twitter Account
Twitter is a social networking and microblogging site whose users send and read text-based posts online. The site surged to worldwide
popularity with +300 million active users as of 2011, generating 300 million tweets and 1.6 billion search queries daily.

Tweets
“Tweets” are short text-based messages – up to 140 characters – that users post to Twitter. "Tweet" can
refer to a post as well or to the act of posting to Twitter. Tweets are public, indexed, and searchable unless
protected by the user. Many users never Tweet, choosing only to follow persons or topics of interest.
Hashtags (#topic) are used to mark a keyword or topic in a
Tweet. Posts with hashtag are categorized by topics in the
Twitter search engine. Hashtagged words that become popular
become Trending Topics (ex. #jan25, #egypt, #sxsw).
Mentions (@username) are used to tag a user in a Twitter
update. When a public user mentions a private Twitter
account, the link to the private account profile becomes public.

Twitter Best Practices
 Avoid using hashtags (#) in updates to avoid being indexed and
associated with a topic by Twitter Search.
 Tweet responsibly. Do not provide personal details regarding your
whereabouts and activities in your post.
 Do NOT upload links to personal photos or websites on Twitter.
 Do NOT allow Twitter to use your location on mobile devices.
 Change your Twitter username periodically to limit account exposure.

Instagram smart card
Personal safety tips
Assume that ANYONE can see any information
about your activities, personal life, or professional
life that you post and share.
Ensure that your family takes similar precautions
with their accounts; their privacy and sharing
settings can expose your personal data.
Use caution when posting images of you or your
family. Be aware of your surroundings, to include
identifiable locations, military affiliations, and any
other personal security vulnerabilities.
It’s highly discouraged to use geo-location tags.
Use secure browser settings when possible and
monitor your browsing history to ensure that you
recognize all access points.
Security tips
Here are 5 things you can do to help keep your
account safe:
Pick a strong password. Use a combination of at
least six numbers, letters and punctuation marks
(like ! and &).
Make sure your email account is secure.
Log out of Instagram when you use a computer or
phone you share with other people.
Think before you authorize any third-party app.
Never give up your password to someone you
don’t know and trust. Make your posts private
You can make your posts private in the
Instagram app so only approved followers can
see them.
Things to keep in mind about private posts:
Private posts you share to social networks may be
visible to the public depending on your privacy
settings for that network. For example, a post you
share to Twitter that was set to private on Instagram
may be visible to the people who can see your Twitter
posts.
Once you make your posts private, people will have
to send you a follow request if they want to see your
posts, your followers list or your following list.
You'll see requests in Activity, which you can then
approve or ignore.
People can send a photo or video directly to you
even if they’re not following you.
Privacy and safety tips
Decide whether you want to use your ‘Photo Map’.
Adding location to photos, also known as using the
‘Photo Map’ feature, is turned off for all photos
someone uploads to Instagram. This means that
photos won’t appear on a person’s Photo Map
without their permission.
Block if necessary
When people use Instagram’s blocking feature, the
person they block cannot view their posts or search
for their Instagram account.
Remember
Your media represents you. That probably seems obvious, but remember it can keep on representing you well
into the future, because content posted online or with phones is pretty impossible to take back. So it’s a good
idea to think about how what you post now will reflect on you down the line. If you think it might hurt a job
prospect, damage a relationship or upset your grandmother, consider not sharing it.
Your media could show up anywhere. Even if you limit the audience, be careful not to share anything that could
be a problem if someone were to pass it around. Once it’s on the internet, it’s there forever! Public Records and Data Aggregators Smart Card

Opting Out of Public Records and Data Aggregators – Best Practices

Conduct research to see what records each data aggregator has collected about you and your loved ones.
Some data aggregators may have information about you and your family under multiple listings; you may need to repeat the removal
processes described below for each listing.
 Have ALL the required information prepared before you begin the removal process.
 Follow ALL necessary steps to complete the removal process; you may need to mail or fax information to the aggregator.
 Encourage family members and cohabitants to remove their records from data aggregators as well.

What to Look For
Search for your name, names of family members, email
addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, and social media
usernames. Once you have located information that you want
removed, you should save your findings to facilitate the removal
process. The information presented about how to remove
personal details from data aggregators is subject to change.
