Levels of Privacy / Visibility
- Only Me: Hidden to all users except you.
- My Connections or “Friends Only” (Default Setting): If you accept a connection / friend request with another user, they can view this part of your profile. No other site user can visit your profile until you have consented via the My Connections option
- My Group Members: You may be apart of a group such as a Virtual Retreat. This option lets you connect with users who you may not yet know, but share a common group.
- All Members or “logged in members”: This allows any user of genekeys.com to view your profile, regardless of if you are connected yet. Only logged in users will see your information. This is good if you want to be visible in the larger Gene Keys community.
- Public: This is the public to all users, whether they are logged in or not.
