Reclaim Your Privacy On Facebook

x

Today, there's a better way to make sure that your Facebook privacy is as private as possible. Now there is one place to click in order to fix-up your profile.

Test Your Facebook Privacy

You can test your Facebook privacy by using a tool is called ReclaimPrivacy, and its name says it all. All you have to do is;

1. Drag this link to your web browser bookmarks bar:                                 Scan for Privacy
2. Go to your Facebook privacy settings and then click that bookmark once you are on Facebook.
3. You will see a series of privacy scans that inspect your privacy settings and warn you about settings that might be unexpectedly public.
4. Follow them on Facebook to hear about the latest updates.

You can surf over to ReclaimPrivacy.org and look for the link that says "Scan for Privacy." Add that link as a bookmark in your browser, either by dragging it onto a bookmark toolbar or by right-clicking it and selecting the "Bookmark" option.
Now head over to Facebook. Sign into your account, then open the bookmarked link.
This will cause ReclaimPrivacy's Facebook privacy scanner to open right at the top of your current Facebook window. Within a few seconds, ReclaimPrivacy will scan through six areas of potential privacy concern and let you know how your account stacks up.

ReclaimPrivacy analyzes everything from your personal information controls to your "instant personalization" settings. It even checks account settings that affect what your friends could inadvertently share about you without your knowledge.

For each area, ReclaimPrivacy will give you a green ("good"), yellow ("caution"), or red ("insecure") ranking. If you hit yellow or red, it'll provide you with specific steps to fix the problem so you don't have to waste time searching for the right setting.
