Email Addresses - Visibility

If you have multiple email addresses and would like to control who sees which email address, this will best help you understand your options.

Add Your Email Addresses:

  1. Click your image or icon on the upper right and select, "My Profile"
  2. Scroll down to "Contact" and you'll see your email address. Click, "Edit"
  3. You may have up to three email addresses, Primary, Secondary and Complementary. It does not matter too much which emails you put in each category, but be sure to make your "Preferred contact email" the email address used to manage your membership. 
  4. Click, "Save". If you are adding a new email address to this account, you will need to confirm the email by clicking the link in the email you receive.

Choose Who Sees Which Email Address(es)

  1. Click your image or icon on the upper right and select, "My Profile"
  2. Click, "My Settings" then "Privacy"
  3. Scroll down to "Profile Privacy" and find "Emails." In this section, you can choose for each email address you added whether it is visible to All Users, Admins only or Favorite Contacts.

Privacy

In the privacy settings you are able to edit the Directory Visibility. This will be the first portion of the privacy settings. Here you can select where you want your profile to be hidden from other users. These options will consist of the main directory and any specific topic groups you have joined (eg. hormone, eye, gut). You may either select them all separately based on your preference. 




Profile Information

You may also adjust the privacy of your Secondary information, Emails, Phones, Addresses, Education, Experience, and Other. You would do so by clicking on the arrow across from the preferred category you want to edit. 
The information in this section would have been added to your profile settings for it to appear in the first place. If you have any of this information on your profile, you may click on the drop-down menu for each, and adjust it based on it you want it visible to All users, Admin only, or to Trusted contacts. 


Save your settings

Once you are done updating your privacy settings, scroll down to the end of the page and make sure you select the blue "Save" button.
