## About private profiles | ||
|
||
{% note %} | ||
|
||
**Note:** Private profiles are currently in beta and are subject to change. | ||
|
||
{% endnote %} | ||
|
||
To hide parts of your profile page, you can make your profile private. This also hides your activity in various social features on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. A private profile hides information from all users, and there is currently no option to allow specified users to see your activity. | ||
|
||
After making your profile private, you can still view all your information when you visit your own profile. | ||
|
||
Private profiles cannot receive sponsorships under [{% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %}](/sponsors/getting-started-with-github-sponsors/about-github-sponsors). To be eligible for {% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %}, your profile cannot be private. | ||
|
||
## Differences between private and public profiles | ||
|
||
When your profile is private, the following content is hidden from your profile page: | ||
|
||
- Achievements and highlights. | ||
- Activity overview and activity feed. | ||
- Contribution graph. | ||
- Follower and following counts. | ||
- Follow and Sponsor buttons. | ||
- Organization memberships. | ||
- Stars, projects, packages, and sponsoring tabs. | ||
|
||
{% note %} | ||
|
||
**Note**: When your profile is private, some optional fields are still publicly visible, such as the README, biography, and profile photo. | ||
|
||
{% endnote %} | ||
|
||
## Changes to reporting on your activities | ||
|
||
By making your profile private, you will not remove or hide past activity; this setting only applies to your activity while the private setting is enabled. | ||
|
||
When your profile is private, your {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} activity will not appear in the following locations: | ||
|
||
- Activity feeds for other users. | ||
- Discussions leaderboards. | ||
- The [Trending](https://github.com/trending) page. | ||
|
||
{% note %} | ||
|
||
**Note**: Your activity on public repositories will still be publicly visible to anyone viewing those repositories, and some activity data may still be available through the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} API. | ||
|
||
{% endnote %} | ||
|
||
## Changing your profile's privacy settings | ||
|
||
{% data reusables.user-settings.access_settings %} | ||
1. Under "Contributions & Activity", select the checkbox next to **Make profile private and hide activity**. | ||
{% data reusables.user-settings.update-preferences %} |
