Social Media Privacy Audit™

Social media privacy is not one settings screen

Social media privacy fails in the small stuff, not the big stuff. A birthday post answers a bank security question. A coffee shop selfie geolocates your morning routine through the window reflection. A memorial post hands over your mother’s maiden name. None of it looks risky in the moment. All of it is exactly what an attacker collects.

The Social Media Privacy Audit™ shows you the patterns before someone else finds them. Nine real posts, one question each time: what is this leaking? You guess, you get the answer, then you see the actual attack it enables.

What is inside the social media privacy audit

The interactive HTML trainer runs 9 rounds in your browser. Each round shows a realistic post, asks what it leaks, then reveals the trail an investigator would follow. Skip a round and it comes back in your review queue. Your progress saves automatically, so you can close the tab and pick up later. At the end you get a Privacy Radar Score out of 100 and a breakdown of what you spotted and what slipped past.

The printable PDF cheat sheet is your field guide. All 9 leak patterns and the specific fix for each, on one page you can stick by the desk or hand to a partner or parent who overshares.

The 9 social media privacy leaks you will learn to spot

Date of birth hidden in a birthday post. The empty home window in a holiday announcement. Location leaked through a window reflection. A child’s school from a uniform crest. A weekly routine built from repeated check-ins. A security question answer sitting in a pet name. An employee badge in an office selfie. A home address triangulated from tagged running routes. A maiden name in a memorial post.

Who this is for

Anyone who posts. You do not need technical skill and you do not connect any accounts. Nothing is scanned, nothing is logged, and no signup is required. Work through it on a laptop or a phone in about seven minutes.

Want your accounts locked down for you?

This audit teaches you to spot the leaks yourself. If you would rather have them fixed, our Online Privacy service goes through every platform you use, locks down every setting, removes exposed data from people search sites, and hands you a printed audit at the end. Remote, from €49, no callout fee.

Pair this with the free Phone Privacy Lockdown Checklist™ to secure the device you post from.
