While I was there, I did a little looking around at the settings that 
had been added without advising they had been added (Facebook, 
anyone?). Note that several settings include privacy elements 
(Facebook, anyone?), so you need to open each one, plus the subsets 
for each of them, to finally get to the actually lockdowns in terms 
of what is 'shared' with 3rd parties, advertisers and partners organisations.
