We are learning to choose which information should be kept private and which information is okay to share.
A few weeks ago we looked at how you can find out information about someone. Cooper shared a whole lot of information in his story - he shared too much! We call the information that keeps us safe private information which means we don’t share it with others.
Today we decided what information Cooper shared that made him unsafe. We split the information into private and personal information.
Here is our list of things that are private and should not be shared online:
- Date of birth;
- Home address; and
- Full name.
This information can be used to identify you individually.
What information can we share online? personal information
Why is it important that we don’t share too much information? Because people could track you down, parents' names or use your information.
Who can look at the information we share online? Anyone
