Cyber Safety Worksheet: Private Information
Stay safe (Could a stranger use it?): Private: home address, school name, phone number, passwords, OTPs, PINs, date of birth, ID numbers, live location, daily timings. Usually okay to share: favourites, hobbies, drawings, book reviews, fun facts. Not sure? Don’t share — ask a parent or another trusted adult first.
