Many users of my application will have concerns over the connection between it and their social media pages, such as Facebook. As this application involves a social activity that my be shared between certain groups of friends, but not others, or the users may not want their family members which whom they are friends on Facebook to see these particular updates. This is where the Facebook privacy settings come into play. When signing up to use my application, users will be directed to the Facebook privacy settings page, to ensure full awareness of the existence of these settings, and therefore the availability to customize what certain people can or cannot view.
These privacy settings will be particularly useful for the target audience, college students, who may not necessarily want their parents or family members knowing all about their Friday and Saturday night extra-curricular activities! So these settings will allow the users full access and usage of all of the features of my application, whilst also limiting the people who can see their posts, tags, pictures and comments.
These settings also allow you to control content that others post about you, taking your online profile and image back into your control. The ability to allow other to tag you, or check in to a location with you can be controlled, along with the ability for you to remove your name from any posts, tags or check-in's. If a problem persists with a particular user you can block the person, stopping them from being able to connect with your profile altogether.
