\u2018Ensure your privacy settings are set to the highest level\u2019 \u2013 if you\u2019ve been reading my posts for a bit then you\u2019ll know this is one of my top online safety tips. I\u2019m a fan of ensuring that what you (and your kids) share online is limited to only the eyes that you trust. But let\u2019s talk honestly. When was the last time you checked that your privacy settings were nice and tight? And what about your kids? While we all like to think they take our advice, do you think they have? Or it is all a bit complicated?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018We Don\u2019t Want To Share Everything with Everybody\u2019<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Research from McAfee confirms that the majority of us are keen to share our content online but with a tighter circle. In fact, 58% of social media users are keen to share content with only their family, friends, and followers but there\u2019s a problem. Nearly half (46%) do not adjust their privacy settings on their social media platforms which means they\u2019re likely sharing content with the entire internet!<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s probably no surprise why this is the case. When was the last time you tried to check your privacy settings? Could you even find them? Well, you are not alone with 55% of survey respondents confessing that they struggled to find the privacy settings on their social media platforms or even understand how they work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter McAfee\u2019s Social Privacy Manager<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Well, the good news is there is now a much easier way to decide exactly who you want to share with online. Introducing <\/span>McAfee\u2019s Social Privacy Manager.<\/span><\/a> All you need to do is select your privacy preferences in a few quick clicks and McAfee will then adjust the privacy settings on your chosen social media accounts. Currently, McAfee\u2019s software works with more than 100 platforms including LinkedIn, Google, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. It works across Android and iOS devices and on Windows and Mac computers also. The software is part of the <\/span>McAfee+ suite<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Else Can You Do To Ensure Your Privacy Is Protected Online?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Well, once you\u2019ve got your social media privacy under control \u2013 you can relax \u2013 but just for a bit. Because there are a few other critical steps you need to take to ensure your online privacy is as protected as possible. Here\u2019s what I recommend:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. A Clever Password Strategy<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In my opinion, passwords are one of the most powerful ways of protecting yourself online. If you have a weak and easily guessed password, you may as well not even bother. In an ideal world, every online account needs its own unique, complex password \u2013 think at least 12 characters, a combination of numbers, symbols, and both lower and upper case letters. I love using a crazy sentence. Better still, why not use a password manager<\/a> that will create a password for you that no human could \u2013 and it will remember them for you too! A complete no-brainer!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Is Your Software Up To Date?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Software that is out of date is a little like leaving your windows and doors open and wondering why you might have an intruder. It exposes you to vulnerabilities and weaknesses that scammers can easily exploit. I always recommend setting your software to update automatically so take a little time to ensure yours is configured like this.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Think Critically Always<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I encourage all my family members \u2013 both young and old \u2013 to always operate with a healthy dose of suspicion when going about their online business. Being mindful that not everything you see online is true is a powerful mindset. Whether it\u2019s a sensational news article, a compelling \u2018must have\u2019 shopping deal, or a \u2018TikTok\u2019 influencer providing \u2018tried and tested\u2019 financial advice \u2013 it\u2019s important to take a minute to think before acting. Always fact-check questionable news stories \u2013 you can use sites like <\/span>Snopes<\/span><\/a>. Why not \u2018google\u2019 to see if other customers have bad experiences with the shopping site that\u2019s catching your eye? And if that TikTok influencer is really compelling, do some background research. But, if you have any doubts at all \u2013 walk away!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Wi-Fi \u2013 Think Before You Connect<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest, Wi-Fi can be a godsend when you are travelling. If you don\u2019t have mobile coverage and you need to check in on the kids then a Wi-Fi call is gold. But using public Wi-Fi can also be a risky business. So, use it sparingly and never ever conduct any financial transactions while connected to it \u2013 no exceptions! If you are a regular traveller, you might want to consider using a VPN to help you connect securely. <\/span>A VPN<\/span><\/a> will ensure that anything you send using Wi-Fi will be protected and unavailable to any potential prying eyes!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping you and your family safe online is no easy feat. It\u2019s time-consuming and let\u2019s be honest sometimes quite overwhelming. If you have 3 kids and a partner and decided to manually update (or supervise them updating) their privacy settings then I reckon you\u2019d be looking at least half a day\u2019s work \u2013 plus all the associated negotiation! So, not only will McAfee\u2019s Social Privacy Manager.<\/a> ensure you and your loved ones have their social media privacy settings set nice and tight, it will also save you hours of work. And that my friends, is a good thing!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
