In my Google account, the settings are set to only the people that I have in my circles will be able to send me notifications along with comments on the posts that I have. Here you are able to manage your apps, photos and videos you share as well as sharing it with Youtube. I have a good feeling that my privacy is secured here because I do not have much to share on Google other than my work for my classes.
The second online service that I have is my AT&T yahoo email. This account is very secured since I made sure that my settings are set to my level of privacy. On settings you are able to change the way you view your emails. As well it has the feature security under settings which allows spam email to be removed within a certain time you desire. Those spam emails contain viruses and mal ware that can harm your computer and get important information such as accounts information and then a third party will be able to hack into them. This feature allows those spams email to be deleted permanently. Another feature this has is you are able to block any email address that you do not want to receive any emails from.
The third online service that I have is Instagram. Under the settings for here you are able to edit your password. This allows you to have more security over your account for the reason being that you can change it whenever you feel like it. This makes it harder for hackers to hack into your account if you change it. You can link Instagram to other accounts in case you forget your password. Also under settings, you are able to save original photos you take just in case you delete them by mistake on your phone, tablet, laptop, etc.
The fourth online service is my UHD Gator Mail. This is set up by the University and it generates a new password every 90 days I believe. After the time passes you are required to make a new one in order to access your gator mail, blackboard and other services that is linked with your gator account. Not only is this secured, but it prevents from anyone getting into your account. As well along with this feature, you have security question that you answer personally that only you know the answer.
For me, these online services that I have are secured for me since I do not really have much to share out in public. I usually stay within my group of friends and peers that I know well enough. For me they all have the good privacy settings, but the best one for me is my AT&T yahoo email. This is personal for me since this email is the one that I have all my important information that I have on here. The worst I believe might be Instagram since I have a friend that his account was recently hacked into.
