Betty teaches you the importance of keeping your OFFLINE identity separate from your ONLINE identity
Betty
Cyber Defender & Clubhouse Supervisor
Betty learned the hard way about sharing too much information online when rumors she had spread through her online blog upset some of her friends. Since then she has made it her goal to educate everyone about what information is inappropriate or unsafe to share online to prevent others from getting hurt.
As a Cyber Defender, Betty focuses on the most important information you should never share online, your offline identity.

Personal Information: Online Quizzes
Beware, my fellow Cadets! Beware the dangers of online quizzes! What's that? You think I'm overreacting? Well, I think you're underreacting! Of course I know that's not a word!
Ahem. Sorry. I'm better now.
In all seriousness, online quizzes may be fun, but they are very risky! Say, for example, you want to find out what type of dog you are. So you sit t1here and you start entering all this personal information. After that, do you know what happens to all that information about you? The company that runs the quiz is keeping track of all of it! Then they take all of it and sell it to advertising companies!
And on top of all that, the quizzes are not even accurate! So just think, not only did you just give away all your personal information, you might not even be a poodle after all!
My fellow Cadets, please think twice before filling out any online quizzes. A few minutes of fun isn't worth putting your information on the Internet for anyone to have!
