What are the risks of having an account?

One main risk is that it is very easy to accidentally share your personal information online. Your personal information is details about you such as your full name and date of birth, your home address, live location, and things like which school you go to. These details might give away exactly who you are or where you are, which can pose a risk. The other thing to be mindful of is who can contact you on your account. Remember, you can never be totally sure that someone you have only met online is who they say they are. This means it’s important to limit access to your accounts, to people that you already know face-to-face and trust. Appropriate privacy settings will help with this.
