Each person can see the name, photograph and job profiles. If you're worried about the group that has a strange behavior, avoid the Facebook fan group like that.

You can not ask for Facebook to not display your infromasi to a group like that. You can remove the check "Show gender in my profile" when editing a profile if you do not want to be listed, and you can clear the "city of residence".

2. Friends list can also be seen publicly.

Privacy Advocates worry a lot that can be used from your friends list, including sexual orientation, according to an MIT study. But there are ways to hide your friends list. Sign in to your profile page and click on the little blue pencil icon at the top right of the box friends. Uncheck "Show Friends List to all people." Or for those who already have friends who can view a complete list of friends.

3. You can hide themselves from web search.

There is the "Search" under the Facebook privacy settings page, which can be accessed from the top right corner under "Settings." If you click the box "Allow" next to "General Search Results," Facebook is considered the information available to the public (such as photos, features pages and friends lists), along with whatever is available to all people, will arise when someone searches your name on search engines like Google.

It's useful if you want people who have lost contact with colleagues can find your Facebook page. If you prefer not to be found, do not check this box.

The second setting, controlling the search on Facebook, lets you filter out who can find people who you never connect. Limit the search to your friends, only if you have friends who needed and did not want people to find you when they type your name on Facebook.

4. Beware of third-party applications.

Quizzes and games are fun, but every time you are required to give permission to access your profile information. Even if you make access is only available for friends, but you also allow applications to access some information about your friends.

6. Create customized groups of friends.

If you have a friend very much, think of the group in which you interact with real life (co-workers, school friends, girlfriends, grandmothers and grandfathers) and set the Facebook friends you into groups.

Go to "All Friends" click on "Create a New List". Then decide aspects of your profile and select the status of posts and photos, these people would have access to your account or simply create a "restriction" list relatives or friends far and restrict their access.

7. Adjusting status post

Type "I'm hungry" in your status box. Click on the small padlock icon. You will see a range of personal control, letting you allow or restrict access to the post.

If you want, then you can hide it from everyone else by clicking "My Only" under customization settings. Click "Save Settings." Repeat with each post, or create basic settings for most of the renewal and increase or reduce privacy as you wish.
