Changing your name or adding
additional names
You can also change your name or add additional names (ex: nickname, maiden
name) to your profile. Keep in mind that you can't change your name more than
once in 60 days.
Managing your privacy
If you're concerned about using your name on Facebook, they have tools that
can help you manage what information people can see about you.
Something that’s
public can be seen by anyone. That includes people who aren’t your friends,
people off of Facebook and people who use different media such as print,
broadcast (ex: television) and other sites on the Internet. For example, if you
use Facebook services to provide a real-time public comment to a television
show, that may appear on the show or elsewhere on Facebook.
What information is public?
Information you
share that is always public: Some of the information you give facebook
when you fill out your profile is public, such as your age range, language and
country. Facebook also use a part of your profile, called your Public Profile,
to help connect you with friends and family. Your Public Profile includes your
name, gender, username and user ID (account number), profile picture, cover
photo and networks. This info is also public. Some of the ways this helps Facebook
to connect you are:
·
Gender helps to describe about you (ex: "Add her as a friend")
·
Listing your networks (ex: school, workplace) allows others to find you
more easily
·
Username and user ID (ex: your account number) are in the URL of your
profile
·
Age range helps provide you with age-appropriate content
·
Language and country helps FB to
provide appropriate content and experiences
Information you
share publicly: When you choose to share something with Public (ex: when you select
Public from the audience selector), it’s considered public information.
If you share something and you don’t see an audience selector or another
privacy setting, that information is also public. Learn more about using the audience
selector to control who you share with when you post to Facebook.
Stuff other people
share: If other people share info about you, even if it’s something you shared
with them but did not make public, they can choose to make it public. Also when
you comment on other people’s public posts, your comment is public as well.
Posts on Facebook
Pages or public groups: Facebook Pages and public groups are public spaces.
Anyone who can see the Page or group can see your post or comment. Generally,
when you post or comment on a Page or to a public group, a story can be
published in News Feed as well as other places on or off Facebook.
Remember that
public information can:
·
Be associated with you, even off Facebook
·
Show up when someone does a search on Facebook or on another search engine
·
Be accessible to Facebook-integrated games, applications and websites you
and your friends use
