How to improve privacy settings on your Facebook account

1. Change your password and ensure you have a strong password and one that you don’t use regularly.
2. Limit who can see your post; this can be done by going to Settings > Privacy (Left-hand corner)

3. Review all posts – Verify everything before it’s get posted to your timeline.  Settings >Timeline and tagging (left-hand column).

This prevents anything you are tagged on from appearing on your timeline without your approval.

4. Disable search engine from viewing your posts. Settings> Privacy>Edit>No

This will prevent a search engine from linking to your profile and prevent people from being able to find you via them. From here you can restrict who can find your email and phone number via Facebook.

5 Review what apps have access to your information and what info. Settings > Apps

If you are uncomfortable with sharing some info with particular apps you can remove sharing that particular info sharing, if not possible you have to disable the app
