Important things to remember:

1. Be careful when you share your photos online, once you upload them to a public image hosting site, they will be there forever even if you delete them because other people might download or share it to others. If you upload your pictures and keep them private, you're still not 100% safe because the possibility of your account getting hacked is still their so just upload the pictures that you won't mind being downloaded or shared by other people.

2. Make sure you own the copyrights of the picture you are sharing online, if it doesn't belong to you and you're not sure whether the owner wants that picture to be shared online or not, then ask for his/her permission first before you share it. 

3. If ever you have uploaded a photo that you regret, just remove it immediately before it gets shared by others, and if you can't remove it by yourself even if you want to, just contact the site where it is located and ask them to remove that content and explain your reason why. 

Remember that you don't have to go through these if you will just share the photos that aren't very personal.
