Strategies for a Safe and Appropriate Digital Footprint Strategies are good to have, if you just started your social media accounts and don't know how to have a safe experience. List of all account users and passwords Privacy setting Don't overshare Google yourself

Account Usernames and Passwords When you have all these social media with users and passwords, you tend to forget them easily. It's always important to have a list of that information, it can be very helpful if you’re a forgetful person. Even if you really decide you don't want to have your account anymore it's still useful to have, because if you don't use that account anymore someone could hack it and use all of your personal information, but you could still get help. Having the information you had can be used in the future and could be handy.

Privacy Settings Using Privacy settings can help improve with your information and post stay private at all times. Although you have to keep in mind that even you have the Privacy Settings on it will always find a loophole to not stay private, any user might get a hold of your posts or information. When you are controlled of your own social media account, you get a chance to chose who get to see your account ex: (random people or friends). If you didn't put your account(s) on private, and you but a bad picture of yourself (doing bad stuff) then that person can put rude comments or put it on there accounts to her from their friends comments.

Don't Overshare It is very important not to Overshare. If you post on one of your accounts that your going to some place at a specific time and when, then a stranger could kidnap you, murder you, or beat you up. You always have to say to yourself before you post anything, " is this to much information "?
