Privacy on the internet

Privacy, this is one thing which is very important to me, on the net and also in private life. When you give up you're privacy - you give up everything which is dear to you, and the public can come and tremble over you're life, so - if they knew every little bit of you're life and the life of you're loved ones.

I working from my home, and my patients never run thru my house to the clinic, the clinic is on the other side with a separate door to enter, they never saw the inside of my house or my life. Even on Facebook, I'm very private - only use Facebook for the business, my personal photo is for sure not on there. So far with no photo at all, I have many bookings, been booked as far as March 2017 - and that without a picture of me!

They can meet me the day when they come for treatments, then they saw my face for the first time, and I'm gonna keep it so. Facebook - faceless with my photo.

For social communities, it's the same - no personal photo of me. I do not know anyone on the net, it say's nothing if we had a chat for the last 2/3 years or more, they are still foreign to me. On the net, you can find very weird people, with funny ideas, so I keep my distance at all the time and keep it private.

And where, in which study book it say's you must put up you're photo to get more traffic and sales on you're site, or on you're community pages?

And a other thing, not only is you're personal life private but also you're financial life - that one is a big boo boo! What you earn on you're site and what you're overheads are, had nothing to do with anyone except your bookkeeper! And may be you're bank manager.

Don't you people know, that any info on you, can be used against you - don't you care?
