Deactivating your account basically just makes you invisible on Facebook, whereas deleting your account may eventually (up to 3 months) result in most of the data being removed.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">The problem is that Facebook is useful. It may be the only connection you have with certain friends or family members, and many informal groups use Facebook for meetup logistics. For many of us, losing access to Facebook would hurt our real-world relationships and activities. Plus, lots of companies have Facebook pages, and taking those down might result in a loss of business from customers who would find out about the firm only through Facebook. What to do?<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">If you\u2019re a business, the most sensible tack is to keep your Facebook page but avoid relying on it. Remember, Facebook is not your friend. Earlier in 2018, Facebook announced that it would be\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.fb.com\/news\/2018\/01\/news-feed-fyi-bringing-people-closer-together\/\" style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2ea3f2; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">prioritizing posts from friends and family over public content<\/a><span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">, which is a nice way of saying that Facebook is deprecating business-related posts. So make sure you have a Web site that you control, and make sure that customers can easily find it and contact you through it. It\u2019s also a good idea to offer customers multiple ways to contact you, including via email.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">On a personal level, there are two ways to think about privacy on Facebook: limiting the information you share with other people on Facebook, and limiting the information that you\u2019re willing to provide to Facebook at all. If Facebook doesn\u2019t have certain data about you, they can\u2019t sell it to the highest bidder, let it be harvested by hackers, or use it in ways you might find creepy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">To control who on Facebook can see what you share, click the ?\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">button on the Facebook Web site on your Mac, or tap the hamburger button in the bottom right corner of the Facebook iOS app and tap Privacy Shortcuts. Then click or tap Privacy Checkup and run through the steps to make sure you\u2019re sharing the right info with the right people. Be sure to lock down or remove any apps that you don\u2019t need, since they can leak all sorts of data.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5947\" data-attachment-id=\"5947\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup-960x1024.png\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup-281x300.png\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup.png\" data-orig-size=\"2286,2438\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/heres-how-to-lock-down-your-facebook-privacy-settings-to-the-extent-possible\/facebook-ios-privacy-checkup\/\" height=\"575\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup.png 2286w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup-281x300.png 281w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup-768x819.png 768w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup-960x1024.png 960w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Facebook-iOS-Privacy-Checkup-1080x1152.png 1080w\" style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\" width=\"539\"\/><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">Also, go to Facebook\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/settings?tab=privacy\" style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2ea3f2; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">Privacy Settings &amp; Tools<\/a><span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0page.
