I'm sure you've heard that many companies track your online whereabouts. They want to know what you're looking up online, what you're browsing, what you're buying, what websites you visit frequently -- stuff like that.

It also doesn't hurt to peek at those settings every once in a while to make sure everything is still set. Facebook is notorious for introducing new privacy settings that may revert your current settings to default.
