Link Safe

It is hugely difficult to keep all personal information off the web, but thinking before you post or share something online always helps. as does using a pseudonym rather than your real name. However, this is easier said than done on Facebook, which requires you to use your real name.

we explained how to stop people tagging you in Facebook photos. but it's also worth adjusting your other privacy settings on the social network to prevent your information from appearing in Google search results.

On Facebook, click the down arrow in the top-right corner. choose Settings then select Privacy. In the ‘Who can see my stuff?’ section, ensure that ‘Who can see your future posts?’ is set to Friends.

Then click the Limit Past Posts option and choose Limit Old Posts to prevent anyone apart from your friends viewing content on your Timeline. Next. in the ‘Who can look me up?’ section, change the settings ‘who can look you up using the email address you provided?’ and ‘Who can look you up using the phone number you provided?’ to Friends (by default, it's Everyone), and ensure that ‘Do you want other search engines to link to your Timeline?' is set to Off. If you're really paranoid, you can click Use Activity Log in the ‘Who can see my stuff’ section and manually delete everything you've posted that you don't want people to see.
