Highlights of the G+ Help File Troubleshooting Tab: Google Safety Center
We’ve finally come to the last stop on our Google+ Settings journey – the Google Safety Center. This is a perfect place to end our tour as it’s the best place you can go to ensure everything you do on any Google platform is as safe and secure as possible. It’s a place for everyone to learn all about Google’s wide variety of safety tools which were designed to protect your privacy while online. Your personal data becomes more and more important with every passing year, so keeping it firmly under your own control is vital to maintaining a minimum level of security.
The Safety Center really shines when used by families to better safeguard their activities online – those of both parents and children. The Safety Tools Tab at the top of the page will direct you to an incredibly diverse group of options, all presented in easy to follow formats, which give you access and control to every aspect of your presence while using Google’s wide range of products and platforms. You can even filter the option panels by category and product making an already simple interface even easier to navigate. Anyone, given five minutes on the page, can find whatever they’re looking for – including detailed directions for making alterations to the defaults.
The Safety Center also has an extensive array of Partners and Resources available when you select those respective tabs. The Partners list includes links to each and runs the gamut from child safety to consumer protection. It’s a comprehensive list of participants all focused on making the internet, and Google specifically, a safer place for all users. The Resources Tab is full of useful links to information of every kind related to internet safety, security, and privacy.
Everyone really should spend time looking over what’s on offer. After all, free information is always a benefit – especially when its subject is something so integral to your daily life. If users really thought about how much time they spend online with Google (or any other engine), and equate it to the real world – with real-world consequences for being lackadaisical – they’d probably be more apt to look into how best to “lock the door” when they leave. It’s just another best practice to keep in mind.
