8 things to remember on social media

1. When you search and interact online, a trail of information is left behind. Keep personal details private. 
2. Digital footprints can be helpful or harmful to your reputation both now and in the future.
3. Always think before you post. Opinions sent to even one person can be shared with a larger audience. 
4. Review the privacy and data use rules for all social media apps. To ensure that you are aware of who has access to your data and how they are using it, pay careful attention to privacy settings.
5. Be respectful at all times. Think of the golden rule - do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
6. Once online, information can exist forever (even if deleted).
7. Don't post photos or videos without people's consent.
8. Don't discuss work-related matters or problems on social media.
