GarWu Privacy Publications

1. Shhhhh! Keep it Secret: Santa keeps his home at the North Pole a secret, and you should too! Be sure to keep your personal information (like your name, address, phone number, and email, as well as your date of birth and any ID information - like social security or Driver's License or Identification number) private or you may get more than coal in your stocking.
2. Elf Eyes Excluded: Make sure only your friends (the real ones, not mythical creatures!) can see social media posts.  To limit who can see your posts, update the privacy settings on your social media accounts or your individuals posts.

1. Candy Cane Clues: Before clicking on any links or attachments, make sure they’re safe. Look out for clues like misspellings, weird email addresses, or misdirected hyperlinks.
2. Rudolph's Red Alert: Block or report anything that seems suspicious.  Direct your kids to tell an adult if something seems off or makes them uncomfortable. 
3. Sparkling Passwords: Create strong, unique passwords that are as hard to guess as the perfect gift from Santa. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters to make a password and get creative.

1. Post with Care: Before you post a picture or comment, think about whether it's something you’d want everyone to see—even next year! Once it's out there, it’s hard to take back.
2. Elfie Selfies: Use fun avatars or festive icons instead of your real photo for online profiles to keep your identity safe.  Think about this when posting pictures of others as well, especially others' children.
3. No Peeking: Just like you wouldn’t peek at presents before Christmas, make sure your kids know not to share their passwords with anyone except their parents.  If they're using a required password on a school computer, make sure they use a different password for any home-based usage or programs, if possible.

1. Holiday Treats Only: Only download apps or games from trusted sources.  Make sure your child knows to check with an adult before downloading any apps or games. Look for the digital equivalent of the 'nice list'!
2. Wrapping Up Safely: Be cautious of anything that promises free gifts or special deals—it might be a trick to get your personal information.

Remember, staying safe online means you can enjoy all the fun of the season without any worries. This way, you and your kids can enjoy the festive season while keeping your online activities safe and secure!  Happy holidays!
