What is personal information?

• Information about you that can be used to identify you because it's unique to you (e.g., your full name or your address)

• Information about your favorite food

What type of information is your address?

• Private information

• Personal information

• Public information

• General information

Answer explanation

Your address is considered private information because it can be used to identify your location and personal details. Sharing it can lead to privacy risks, unlike public information which is widely accessible.

Which of the following cannot be used to identify you?

• Your address

• Your phone number

• Your hair color

• Your email address

Answer explanation

Your hair color is not a unique identifier, as many people can share the same hair color. In contrast, your address, phone number, and email address are specific to you and can uniquely identify you.

Which is okay to give out over the Internet?

• My last name

Sharing your favorite TV show is safe as it doesn't reveal personal information. In contrast, your last name, school name, teacher's name, and address can compromise your privacy and safety.
