ONLINE SAFETY

Online safety means using the Internet in a smart and careful way.
When we go online to study, play games, watch videos or chat with
friends, we must follow some simple rules to stay safe. Just like we
follow traffic rules on the road, we follow online safety rules on the

Internet.

Importance of Online Safety

The Internet is a useful place, but not everything online is good or true. Some people may try
to trick children or ask for personal details. By following online safety rules, we can protect

ourselves, our family and our devices.

Important Online Safety Rules

Here are some important online safety rules everyone should follow to stay safe while using
the Internet.

Do Not Share Personal Information

Never share your full name, home address, school name, phone number,

passwords or photos with strangers online. Personal information should be
kept private.

Use Strong Passwords

Create passwords that are hard to guess. A good password has letters,
numbers and symbols. Never tell your password to anyone except your
parents.

Do Not Talk to Strangers Online

People you meet online may not be who they say they are. Do not chat,
message or video call with strangers. If someone makes you uncomfortable,
stop chatting and tell an adult.

Ask Before Downloading or Clicking

Always ask your parents or teachers before downloading games, apps or
clicking on unknown links. Some links can harm your device.

few important things when using the Internet.
