How to Protect Your Information While Online Gaming

When you play games on Facebook, it’s important to keep your personal information safe. Many games take you to different websites, which have their own privacy rules. Here are some simple tips to help protect your data while playing games.

  • Before you start playing, check the game’s privacy policy. This will tell you what information the game collects and how it’s used. If you’re unsure or worried, it’s best to delete the game.
  • Make sure to check the games you’ve added on Facebook from time to time. If there are games you no longer play, delete them from your account.
  • If you think a game isn’t using your information correctly, you can report it. Just click the "report/contact this app" link at the bottom of the game’s page.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your information safer while enjoying games on Facebook. Always be cautious and take action if something doesn’t seem right.
