Facebook opens us to a world of communication with friends and family, networking and marketing with businesses, and real-time local, national, and international news. But with all this information and interaction overload, comes some serious risks to your personal privacy. Whenever a new user signs up on its platform, Facebook collects a host of details including contact information, where you are, what you like and share, the frequency and duration of your activities, and more. Even though Facebook offers customizable privacy settings, many active users do not take advantage of them. An estimated 13 million U.S. Facebook users aren't aware of the network's privacy control settings-or don't even use them at all. Thankfully, there are ways to take better control of your profile privacy. Check out the infographic below to safeguard your information.
