Go www.facebook.com and sign into your Facebook account. Once you have signed into your account, Facebook should take you to this screen. This is called your “news feed page”. To make sure you are on the “news feed” page click the Facebook icon in the top left corner of the screen.

Step (3)
Click the option “Settings.” This will take you to a new screen that shows your “General account setting.” This page will allow you to edit some basic things related to your Facebook account. After reaching this screen look to the left and click the option labeled “Privacy.”

Step (4)
Once you have clicked “Privacy” Facebook will take you to a new page, this page will have a section labeled “Check a few important settings.” Go ahead and click this.

Step (5)
After clicking “Check a few important settings” a window will appear called, “Privacy Checkup.” This window gives you a couple options that allow you to easily change your preferred settings. However, today we will are just focusing on the privacy sections. Go ahead a click “who can see what you share.”

Step (6)
Once you have clicked and entered into the section, click “continue.” After that Facebook will show you the levels of privacy that are currently on your account. Click the gray boxes to the right to begin changing who can see that information.

For example, my email address is available to be seen by the general public. If I want to change this to be as private as possible, I must click “public” then Facebook will give me a couple options. I will click the one labeled “Only me” because that is the most private option. This changes my email information from being public to completely private. Go ahead do this for every option, and then click next.

Step (7)
After clicking “next” a new set of options will appear. Repeat the process of changing each of the item to the most secure option available. After that is completed, click “next” and then click “Review another topic.”

Step (8)
Scroll down to the section labeled “How people can find you on facebook.” This section is about allowing or not allowing the general public to find or see your facebook profile.

Step (9)
Go ahead and click “continue” then, similar to before, choose the most secure option for each item. Go ahead click the grey box labeled “everyone” and change it to most private option. In this case it is “friends of friends.” After that click “next” to move to the next set of options.

Step (10)
Continue the process of clicking the grey boxes. For each item choose the “only me” option because it is the most private. Then click “next”.

Step (11)
