Facebook Security

Professionally, we Private Investigators love that a great many people choose to participate in social media platforms like Facebook and to put all sorts of information up that is readily available to the public, like their photos, whereabouts, and relationships. It is very helpful information when we want to find someone, figure out if they are legitimately injured for their workman's compensation case, or figure out why they haven't been paying their bills.

Personally, we hope that you take a moment to review your settings and secure your information so that strangers cannot find out little details about you that could compromise your safety. So please, log into your Facebook account and do the following:

Secure your profile

• In the upper right corner of the page, click the down arrow
• Privacy Settings
• Change "public" to "friends" or "custom"
• You can modify your custom settings as you like

Review your "friends"

• At the top of the page, click your name to see your Profile
• Click the Friends photo box under your cover picture
• Delete anyone you do not know personally
• Delete anyone you no longer choose to keep contact with
• Delete anyone who may pose a threat to your safety 
• Note: Anyone you "unfriend" will NOT receive notification, and you can still phone them if you choose.

Secure your photos

• At the top of the page, click your name to see your Profile
• Click the Photos photo box under your cover picture
• Delete anything that no longer needs to be there
• If you organize your photos into Albums, you can change those security settings all in one click instead
  of individually for each photo.
