Protecting privacy starts with reducing unnecessary exposure of personal information.
Your home address, contact details, school schedule, and precise location can reveal things about your life. Photos, the top of a screenshot, and file names may contain information too—do not check only the main subject you meant to show.
If a photo includes a classmate, get appropriate permission first and respect their choice.
