Google Plus Smart Card
- 1. Google+ Smart Card G+ 121911_2000 Social Networks - Do’s and Don’ts Only establish and maintain connections with people you know and trust. Review your connections often. Assume that ANYONE can see any information about your activities, personal life, or professional life that you post and share. Ensure that your family takes similar precautions with their accounts; their privacy and sharing settings can expose your personal data. Avoid posting or tagging images of you or your family that clearly show your face. Select pictures taken at a distance, at an angle, or otherwise concealed. Never post Smartphone photos and don’t use your face as a profile photo, instead, use cartoons or avatars. Use secure browser settings when possible and monitor your browsing history to ensure that you recognize all access points. Managing Your Google+ Profile Google+ provides privacy and sharing options using Circles. Circles are groups that users create for different types of connections, such as family, friends, or colleagues. Content is shared only with circles you select. Google+ requires that users provide real names - no pseudonyms.
