Check with your parent, guardian, or teacher before downloading an app to your device.

Don’t give out Personal Information

Ask your parent, guardian, or teacher for help if an email or someone online asks you for your full name, address, birthday, or phone number.

Use Strong Passwords

Don’t include your name, birthday, or other information that can be guessed in your password.

Use different passwords on all of your accounts — a parent, guardian, or teacher can help you set up a password manager to remember them all!
