Go to your privacy settings page and change everything to Friends. Each of the sections have areas that need to be changed:

  • Default Privacy (within custom, then Friends)
  • How you connect (click edit then select Friends for each of the three choices)
  • Timeline and Tagging
    • Click Edit then select Friends for each of the three choices with drop downs
    • Turn on "Review posts friends tag you in before they appear on your timeline
    • Turn on "Review tags friends add to your own posts on Facebook"
    • Click "Who sees tag suggestions when photos that look like you are uploaded" and select Friends
  • Ads, Apps, and Websites
    • Turn them all to Friends within each of the settings or remove apps that you don't want to use
    • In the "How people bring your info to apps they use" area uncheck everything
  • Limit the audience for past posts
    • Click "Limit Old Posts"
    • Set to Friends
