FAQs

Q: Does the checklist change with my situation?
A: No. It starts as one list of 14 items in 3 groups and does not ask questions about you. Add your own items and remove the ones that do not apply.
Q: Are my ticks saved?
A: Yes. Ticks are saved in your browser on this device, so they are still there when you come back. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
Q: How do I start again?
A: Press Uncheck All on a section to clear its ticks and keep your items, or Reset to Default to bring back the original list for that section and remove the items you added. Clearing your browser data for this site also removes the saved ticks.
Q: Which platforms does this cover?
A: None in particular. It lists what to review on any social network, and each service names and places its settings differently.
