Not that much, but itās because Iāve been using the Internet since the late 90s. I didnāt actually reveal my name online until I was 18 and actually met some online friends in real life.
Now, I donāt mind revealing my name online. The only place I donāt use my name is on Facebook because when I first opened my FB account, I got requests from all kinds of people that I didnāt even know, and I accepted them to be niceā¦ but I had to delete that account and open a new one with a different name which I only give out to people I actually know in order to avoid getting requests from randos. Sometimes, people find me in suggested friends and add me, but I only accept people that I know IRL.
Now, I am concerned about the privacy of other peopleā¦ for example, Iāve only revealed my oldest nephewās name, because Emiliano is a very common name in Mexico. But Iāve never said his brotherās name because itās a very uncommon Arabic name, and I donāt want to put their safety at risk.

I really concerned about my privacy but at the same time Iām not sure if I have done enough to protect it 
mostly in the forums, Iāve shared a lot of information and sometimes I get really paranoid about people finding out who I am, where I live and stuff.

Not private when it comes to a lot of things, people feel uneasy knowing that your devices could be listening to you but I donāt care whatsoever. 
I am pretty much only concerned about the privacy of my bank credentials, credit card numbers and those sort of things.

Iād say Iām pretty concerned, but not too much. I donāt give out my last name or any of my personal info to the public, though Iām pretty open about my first name and grade level

Moderately concerned. I donāt mind revealing my real name, but I will not reveal my last name. I also donāt like revealing pictures of myself unless I trust the platform or people, which the SWF is fine on most cases. I dont like to set my personal social media accounts on public because anybody could use them to catfish others. Iām aware of the risks and make sure all my personal info is concealed.
I actually found myself on google. Itās not there anymore, but I have no idea how it ended up there. Thatās a little concerning

Not that much, most people know my real name 
I did it a few seconds ago. Amazon suggested some weird salt water measuring device, Facebook found my name twin in Italy, and I saw like millions of libraries, which always happens when I search my name

How concerned about privacy are you?
A little but I try not to think about it. I always hear people say that your information can be tracked easily which concerns me.
Have you ever searched up your real name on the net?/What did you find?
Nothing much. Mostly Facebook profiles

I donāt care too much except for money related things.
Iām an open book anyway and my info is pretty useless since itās innocent anyway so when people try to scam call me, I always call then out for it too. Like you managed to know which city I live in, then you should also know I live with my parents and Iām not the person to call for an water and gas price comparison investigation.

I feel the same way honestly. Like Iām not gonna ever share where I live with people online or like my bank details (I mean even I donāt know those yet) but I am pretty much an open book and the information I do give you is probably useless. Realistically, no one is gonna try and come after me online lol. Iām pretty nice and unproblematicā¦ Iād even call me boring. I also donāt share pictures of me publicly either so I get no weird comments about my looks. All in all, be safe of course but you probably have nothing to worry about.

Oh nah, people know my name and that Iām fron the netherlands, so finding me online isnāt hard at all.
Even if people wanna go and find me, whatās there to gain, you spend money to get here and then what? Iām not hot enough to be of any profit on that department, Iām not rich enough to give money to them (in fact it probably costs them more money to fly here and back than what I can give them lol) and if they just come here to be friends with me, Iām down haha. But then they can just spend time talking to me and becoming friends and I would plan with them to meet up so I can also help make their stay cheaper and shizzles.
Iām okay with sharing my name and my picture here, but I wouldnāt share my bank details, workplace, address, or full names of my family members because it could put them at risk, especially minors like my nephews. Iāve only told people the oldest oneās first name because itās common, but I havenāt showed pictures of them nor have I said what their last name is.
Same! Thatās why Iām pretty much an open book on the Internet. I donāt even run in the same circles online as people I know in real life.

Yeah I made my personal instagram private and only one person who I know online follows me there. But weāre really good/close friends and have had video calls and stuff like that so itās safe. We know the same amount of info about each other honestly.
