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.
Yup! There's a reason Facebook is worth 50 billion dollars. It's a gold mine full of information.

Why send out surveys, search bots, etc. when people happily volunteer personal information, tell us where they are, what they're doing, etc.
