<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">Your or your family members' full birth date (if you must, you can put in the day and month but leave out the year). Identity thieves use this information as one of the 3 to 4 pieces of information they need to steal your identity.</li>
<li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">Your relationship status, especially when you are single. Stalkers may use this information to go after you.</li>
<li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">Your current location.The problem with this is that you are telling everyone that you're on vacation or not at your house.</li>
<li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">The fact that you're home alone. Again, you wouldn't walk into a building and tell everyone there you are going to be all alone at your house.</li>
<li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">Pictures of your kids tagged with their names. This kind of information could be used by predators to lure your child. They could use the child's name and the name of their relatives to build trust. Your real friends already know your children's names. Just leave any identifying information off.</li>
</ol>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">Removing all this information if you've already divulged it on Facebook may be a daunting task. You may feel safe enough because you've set your privacy setting so that your information is only visible to your friends. However, you don't know if your friend had their account hacked or someone may be reading over their shoulder at the library. This may be the best solution for the sake of safety for you and your family.</p></div><div><br></div><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;
