Safari contains numerous security
features designed to give you a safe
browsing experience it also allows you
to control your privacy settings and
your browsing history allowing you to
keep your personal information private
whenever you visit a website a security
indicator may appear to the left of the
web address in the address bar
understanding this indicator will help
you stay safe when entering personal
information online if you see a padlock
icon the site is using a secure
connection always check for this icon
when entering sensitive information such
as a credit card number or your date of
birth you can click on the padlock to
learn more about the secure connection
let's check a different site if you
don't see a padlock the website is not
using a secure connection this is not
important for many web sites such as
news or weather but you should avoid
entering any sensitive information on
non secure pages you can also control
some of the information you share online
through your privacy settings click
Safari in the top left corner and select
preferences
click privacy and you can customize your
privacy settings as you desire every
website you visit is recorded in the
browsing history but there may be times
you want to clear that history to delete
it click on history select show all
history
then click clear history click the drop
down menu to choose a time frame to
erase ranging from the past hour to all
the websites you've ever visited once
you've made your choice click clear
history and your chosen browsing record
will be wiped away to erase just a
single site choose a time frame right
click on the site and select delete for
additional privacy you can use a private
browsing window which lets you browse
the web without Safari recording your
history to open one click file then
select new private window you can use
this window just like normal
you'll know it's private thanks to the
dark gray address bar keep in mind that
browsing privately does not make
anything more secure it only keeps your
history from being recorded while using
the private window to end your private
session simply close the window now you
know how to manage your privacy and
security in Safari
