Children and teens sometimes fail to understand the ease with which personal information can be public on the Internet. A child’s name, address, phone number and other personal information should not be shared with companies, marketers, and adult contacts.
Useful Parental Controls:
- Block Private Information feature on computers and mobile phones can block the transmission of private information such as name, phone number, etc. via IM and e-mail.
- Contact Management features on e-mail and IM can help your child block problematic contacts or limit to approved contacts.
Tips:
- Become familiar with the privacy policies of websites your children visit.
- Discuss the importance of privacy with your children.
- Instruct your children not to give out personal information.
