How do I make my facebook secure so that no-one can see my profile?

If you don't want ANYONE to see your profile, just deactivate it in your Account Settings.

If you are just wanting the general public on the internet to not see it, then go to Account, Privacy settings and set everything to FRIENDS ONLY can view your stuff.

The first step to Facebook privacy is making your profile, or Timeline, private. To do this, go to Privacy Settings > How You Connect and change the settings for "Who can post on your timeline?" and "Who can see posts by others on your timeline?" from "Public" to "Friends."

Go to Privacy Settings > How Tags Work and change the settings for "Maximum Timeline Visibility" from "Public" to "Friends."

If you're super-intense, you can change those settings to "Custom" and choose "Only Me" -- then you'll be the only one who can see the posts.

1. Log onto your own Facebook account by typing in facebook.com.

2. Click on "Account” that is near the right upper corner of the profile page, then click on "Privacy Settings”.

3. Select "Recommended”, "Friends Only” or "Friends of Friends”, review these settings just to make sure that you approve, then click on "Apply These Settings”. As an example, if the "Friends Only” setting is used, then only approved friends will be able to see your profile info, posts and pictures. Alternatively, you can control who sees what types of information by selecting "Customize settings”. You can also select options for different features on Facebook such as on the Wall where only you will be able to view them. The Wall is where comments from all your friends will be posted.

4. Click on "Edit Your Settings” which is under Websites and Applications on the lower left hand corner. Each setting must then be edited according to your desired levels of privacy.

5. Click on "Back to Privacy” then click on "Edit your Lists” which is under the Block Lists section. This will block any individual and application from being able to search you or to send you a request on Facebook. Once all the changes have been made, click "Save”.
