This flowchart starts with the user logging into their social media account. Then the user opens the privacy settings page. The first decision is whether to choose data to share publicly or hide it from others. Depending on the choice, the user sets the data visibility accordingly. Next, the user decides whether to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security. If yes, they set up 2FA; if no, they skip this step. Finally, the user saves all changes and logs out, completing the process of protecting their personal data.
