Privacy Settings Practice

Read each situation carefully. Choose safe settings, explain your thinking and remember: if something online feels uncomfortable, stop and talk to a trusted adult.

A new account at the station

Talia and Jai are waiting at a train station. Talia is setting up an account for a social app. She wants to share art with friends but does not want strangers to find her or learn where she is.

1.Talia wants only people she knows to see her posts. Which profile visibility choice best matches her goal?

Public
Private or friends-only
Visible to anyone nearby
Allow search engines to list it

2.A message request arrives from an unknown account: “I go to your school. What is your full name and which train do you catch?” What is the safest response?

Share the details to prove you are friendly
Do not reply; block or report the account and tell a trusted adult
Ask the person for their address first
Post the message publicly with your travel plans

3.Jai is choosing settings for a new account. Complete each choice with a safer option: profile visibility (public / private); location sharing (on / off); messages (everyone / people he knows).

4.At the station, Talia takes a photo that shows the platform sign and the time she is there. Why might posting it immediately reveal more than she intends?

5.Ivy-Mae asks Jai to send her his password so she can post a picture for him. Is sharing a password a safe way to help? Explain one better option.

6.A friend wants to upload a photo of Talia at the station. Name two things Talia should consider before agreeing.

7.True or false: If an account is private, it is always safe to post your home address because only approved followers can see it.

TrueFalse

8.Talia checks an app's privacy menu. Match each setting to what it controls.

Post audience
Location access
Message requests
Tag review

Whether the app can use or share your location
Whether you approve tags before they appear on your profile
Who can contact you through the app
Who can view what you share

9.Jai receives a friend request from someone he does not know. The account has a familiar-looking profile photo. What should Jai do, and why is a profile photo not proof that the person is who they claim to be?

10.Create a three-step privacy check Talia could use before sharing a post from the station. Include one check about the audience, one about personal information and one action to take if she is unsure.
