Limiting who can see your info or search for you

Limiting who can see your info or search for you
Privacy Point: Your children can limit who sees their profiles. Regardless of
what your teen enters in the profile, it’s possible to control who has access to
that information from the Privacy Settings page. We recommend that – at most –
it be made available to Friends Only.
As we said earlier, you can avoid putting some information in your profile but
even if you do include your education and work, current city, hometown or
likes, activities and connections, you can control who can see that information.

You can also control who can see your friends list and who can search for you
on Facebook.
To restrict what people can see
1. Go to privacy settings
2. Click View Settings under Connecting on Facebook
3. Change settings in the drop-down boxes to the right of each option
The Customize option
The Customize option in the drop-down box is a very powerful tool that lets
you limit access to information to certain people, Lists or Groups of people or
Only Me, which hides it from everyone except you. There is even a way to hide
information from specific people or groups of people.

If you click on Specific People, you’ll see a box where you can type in the
names of the people with whom you wish to share that category of content.
Only those people will be able to see it. Likewise, if you type names in the
Hide this from box, you can prevent those people from seeing that category of
information. If you choose Only Me, you are hiding it from everyone except
yourself.
