To be fair even then you aren't safe. FB has had issues when revamping the site at setting everything to 'public' by default, and making private messages public by accident . . . also if you 'like' anything that page has access to your info like a 'friend' does, and 'liking' adverts gives advertisers access to your information too. Even if everything is 'private' it isn't as private as people assume. The safest thing to do is not put anything up that can identify you at all: no DOB, address, phone number, etc. There's no guarantee that no one else can see it.
