Facebook quizzes seem to be growing in popularity, but before users click to find out which celebrity they look like, they might want to read the fine print.
Computer Expert Finn Breland said what people may think is a harmless quiz could be a ploy to steal their information.
"This amount of data being acquired by these companies can mean a lot of profit and a lot of monetary value to third company parties that are trying to acquire this data," Breland said.
He added if a page has been asking users to authenticate their information through Facebook, they should click "cancel."
"Any time you reach a website that asks you to log in or authenticate through Facebook or another application, what's happening in that moment is your third party website, that site we don't trust very much, is going to send a certificate and ask Facebook, 'Hey, can I access this person's information?'" Breland said.
When it comes to Facebook, less is more. Take less quizzes and share less information. That way if information does get out there, it's minimal.
"When you share, when you do post, make sure it's with items that you trust, with websites that you trust, with information you can trust, and with links you can trust," Breland said.
