On Facebook, you may want to accept friend requests from these type of people but also ensure that they cannot see all of your personal information or activity.
Fortunately, Facebook has been organised so that it is possible to adjust the privacy settings for all of your friends on an individual basis. As such, you can have full power over what can be seen by which of your friends.
Follow the instructions below to discover how one can edit the privacy settings, limiting which information a certain person may see on your Facebook profile page.
Step 1
You must of course make sure that you are logged into your Facebook account before you begin. Then you can select 'Account' from the Facebook dashboard and click on 'Privacy Settings' from the drop-down list.
Step 2
From Privacy Settings, select the 'Customize settings' link.

Consequently, you will be able to review what this person can see by clicking 'Preview my Profile'. If you fill in their name, you will be able to see exactly what they would be able to see if they were to look at your profile.
As you can see, it is not very hard to make sure that someone cannot access all of the information on your Facebook profile page. By giving them a Facebook limited profile, you can control what they can and cannot see on your Facebook account.
