Cyber safety 

Definition:- 

Cyber safety is the safe and responsible use of Information and Communication Technologies. Net Safe's approach to cyber safety is founded on: Maintaining a positive approach about the many benefits brought by technologies. Here are some safety tips from which we could stay safe when using any social website on internet:-
1. Always ask an adult if you’re unsure of anything when you are online.
2. Don’t sign up for sites that are 13+ if you are not old enough (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram etc).
3. Remember you should not share your online personal information with any unknown (Your full name, address, phone number, passwords, your plans). 
4. Don’t add people as online friends unless you know them in real life or have parent permission. Never arrange to meet an online friend without talking to a parent.
5. Remember that you cannot believe everything you read on the internet and you can’t trust everything online friends tell you.
6. Choose sensible names for usernames, email addresses etc. 
7. Talk to your parents about what you’re doing online and let them know when you’re going on the internet.
8. Know what cyber bullying is and tell someone if you think it’s happening to you. Cyber bullying is when someone picks on you, annoys, embarrasses, or threatens you over and over again using technology, such as the internet or a phone.
9. Protect your digital footprint: don’t put anything online that you wouldn’t want all your friends, family, teachers and future employers to see.
10. Treat others online the way you’d like to be treated.
11.  Don’t post inappropriate or illegal content anywhere on the internet. 
12.  Make sure your social networking profile is set to private (check your security settings).

14. Don’t click on any links that are embedded in emails - type the URL into the browser and go from there.
