SAFETY

Internet Safety refers to the online security or safety of people and their information when using internet.

There's almost no limit to what you can do online. The Internet makes it possible to access information quickly, communicate around the world, and much more. Unfortunately, the Internet is also home to certain risks, such as malware, spam,cyber bullying and phishing. If you want to stay safe online, you'll need to understand these risks and learn how to avoid them.

You'll need to create a password to do just about everything on the Web, from checking your email to online banking. And while it's simpler to use a short, easy-to-remember password, this can also pose serious risks to your online security. To protect yourself and your information, you'll want to use passwords that are long, strong, and difficult for someone else to guess while still keeping them relatively easy for you to remember.

While creating your password:

Never use personal information such as your name, birthday, user name, or email address.

Never give out your personal information to strangers.

Never send a picture of yourself to strangers.

Never open e-mails,files or web pages from people you don't know or trust. 

Always check with an adult before downloading.

Never respond to new people online.

Tell an adult if something makes you uncomfortable,scared or confused.

Tell an adult if anyone online offers you to meet you in person.

Be careful about what you share on the internet.Sites with older information can still exist for anyone to tap into,so if you are not sure,be sure and keep it to yourself.
