By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Hi, apologies if this has been raised before but I don't go on this forum section very often. You'll more often find me in the support or chat sections!After a conversation with some friends about internet privacy and lack of, I decided to Google our profile name as I know we have set our privacy settings so that it is not listed on search engines. It came up with a list of some of the people that we had verified (presumably they haven't set their privacy settings so their profiles are not listed). When I clicked on the link it took me straight to their profile and I could see everything on it except their photos which were blurred. When I clicked on our verification it did say that I had to be a registered user to view that profile. Is that how it works?

Yes.

If the other people have no privacy options set, you will see their profile and the contents ( except the pics will be blurred )

Just a thought though, do your friends know they are searchable on google? they might not realise they can hide themselves xx

Good point. I know some are not bothered about being searchable on Google but others might be. I will message them to let them know. Thanks again for your help and the prompt response.

why doesn't the site hide all site info, or say that you have to be a registered user to access it?

I can't believe anyone would have a problem being hidden

"why doesn't the site hide all site info, or say that you have to be a registered user to access it?

Then whats stopping people making up a profile to check out what they cant see as a non-user?

OK, it will happen now, but if they can see less then they may be more tempted to make a profile up 'to have a nose'

Of course, why would anyone google your username randomly.... they would have to be on the site to KNOW your username to google it in the first place
