Personal Security - Publicity

Most people are able to conduct their lives without concerning themselves unduly about where and how information on their private details are held and, more importantly, who has access to that information.

 

However, the following advice is for those with a high public profile, and/or engaged in programme making, such as board of management, production executives, presenters and journalists, for whom it may be prudent to restrict the availability of their personal details such as home address and telephone numbers.

 

For these people, a balance usually has to be struck between reducing risk to themselves, and not restricting their own freedoms. Avoid revealing details about your personal circumstances that could be used by a potential attacker.

 

Examples of the kind of publicity that should be avoided are on the Personal Security Checklist.
