Privacy levels
A user account has 3 possible privacy levels:
Public. This is the default privacy level for most accounts. Anyone, whether or not they have an account, can view the account profile. This level also makes the profile visible to non users such as search engines, social media platforms, and more. This is the best way to make your profile visible to others.
No Index. Anyone, whether or not they have an account, can view your profile, however, we will block non users such as search engines, social media platforms, and more, from seeing it. This is to ensure humans can see your profile, but robots cannot and ensures that your profile will not show up in search results such as Google or Bing.
Note, search engines such as Google and Bing will still be able to see your profile, however, we insert code to ask them nicely not to display your profile in any public facing search results. It is up to the discretion of those search engines to comply with our ask.
Hidden. This level adds one additional level of privacy to your profile, in that it is hidden from non users. People will need to have an account in order to see your profile. This is a good privacy level if you want to make sure search engines such as Google or Bing or other possible web scrapers cannot see your content whatsoever.
