Additional Tips for Managing Your Facebook Privacy
Facebook offers a variety of settings to help control who sees what on your profile. If you wish to further enhance your privacy, consider regularly reviewing your privacy settings under the Settings & Privacy section. You can control the visibility of your friend list, upcoming events, and even past tagged photos.
