Foursquare changing its privacy policy

Posted at: 01/01/2013 12:07 PM

Foursquare is tweaking its privacy policy. Users will have to share their full name on the location-based social network, starting January 28.  
 
Business owners will now get more time to scroll through the names of people who have checked in at their businesses and they can currently see customers who've checked in during the last three hours.  
 
If you don't want business owners to see your name, go to privacy settings and uncheck the box under "location information".
