How it works
Some things are private. We keep them safe from strangers online.
Your whole name, where you live, your phone number and your password are private online.
Many things are fine to say: a favorite color, a pet's name, a song.
Not sure? Ask a grown-up.
Worked examples
Cloud asks
- A stranger online asks for your whole name.
- That is private online.
- Stop typing and ask a grown-up.
Who can know
- A grown-up at home can know your name and home.
- So can a teacher, and so can a police officer.
- A stranger online cannot.
