2. Business Meeting – The world is full of competition, would you be happy if someone steal your business ideas?
3. Performance Data – Being proud about your test scores, achievements cards, certificates and etc. is not a bad idea but do not post it without tampering the sensitive details like signatures, id number, date issued and etc. to avoid being a victim of identity theft.

5. Behavior Data – We are now on the Age of Wearable Technology where everything is being recorded like how many hours we slept, how many kilometres we walked, how many kilograms we lose and etc..
