If you want to stay out of people's view, but still want to be on Facebook, here are some things to look out for as you take another look at your settings. 1. Some of your information is viewable by everyone. Everyone can see your name, your profile photo and the names of work and school networks you're part of. Ditto for pages you are a fan of. 2. Your list of friends may also be public. 3. You can hide yourself from Web searches. 4. Beware of third-party applications. Quizzes and games are fun, but each time you take one, you first authorize it to access your profile information, even if you have made that available only to your friends. You're also letting the app access some information on your friends. 5. Go over your list of friends. 6. Create custom friends groups. 7. Customize your status posts. 8. Let your friends know you have boundaries — in person. 9. Never assume complete privacy.
