Kat and Sloane’s Top 10 Online Rules for Internet Safety:

1. Passwords Remember to always keep your online account id and password private, except from your parent or guardian. Don’t share it with friends – even your best friend. Change your password if you think someone else knows it.

2. Personal Information Never give out personal information online – like your phone number; parent’s work number; address; social insurance/social security number; name or location of your school or your password. If you think it is necessary to give some information - check with your parents first.

3. Be careful what you post. -Think about what you write in chat rooms, emails and instant messages. Nothing online is completely private. If you send personal information, provocative photos or intimate details to your friends, remember that even friends can use this against you or cause problems later on. What if your current friend becomes an ex-friend down the road?

4. Online Only -Never agree to meet an ‘online’ friend in person. This person might not be who you think they are and wish you harm. Even if they say they are a kid, seem nice or friendly, there are bad adults that pose as kids. Knowing that, if you feel there is absolutely someone you must meet and your parents agree, make sure they go with you and make the meeting in a public place.

5. Photos Don’t share photos of yourself with anyone you don’t know. Don’t share provocative photos of yourself or friends – once they are ‘out there’ you cannot control who sees them. If someone makes you uncomfortable by asking for photos or asking you what you look like or personal questions, tell your parents, the police or contact CyberTipline.com.

6. Bullying Tell your parents if you feel uncomfortable or bullied by anyone on-line. Remember – you don’t have to respond to any messages that are mean or make you feel uncomfortable. Report anything you think is inappropriate or disturbing. Don’t do anything yourself that hurts others or is against the law.

7. Protect your computer Check with your parents before downloading or installing software. Do not open attachments from emails you don’t recognize – even if they are addressed to you personally. You could let in a virus, damage the computer or put your family’s privacy at risk.

8. Using a Cell Phone Cell phones can be great for safety since they let you keep in touch with your parents or call 911 if there is an emergency. However, you should follow all the same safety tips with your cell phone as you do with your computer. Be careful who you give your number to. Be aware that GPS and other technologies can pinpoint your physical location, and don’t give out personal information or your location to anyone you don’t know well.
