      Setting Up Your Volunteer Profile Privacy

      We prioritize your privacy, giving you control over the visibility of your volunteer profile. A new "Profile Privacy" section has been added under "Profile Settings," allowing you to select your preferred visibility level.

      Where to find Privacy Settings?

      1. Log in to your volunteer account.

      2. Navigate to "Profile Settings" (usually found in the dropdown menu next to your name/avatar).

      3. Scroll down to locate the "Profile Privacy" section.



      Your Privacy Options:

      In the "Profile Privacy" section, you will have two options:

      1. Public

        • What this means: If your profile is set to "Public," other volunteers on the platform will be able to see your signed-up shifts.

        • Benefits: This allows you to easily coordinate volunteer outings and plan joint activities with other volunteers. Your name and picture will be visible to other volunteers.

        • Important: Organization administrators will always be able to see your full information, regardless of your privacy settings.

      2. Private

        • What this means: If your profile is set to "Private," your name and picture will not be displayed to other volunteers on the platform.

        • Confidentiality: This option allows you to participate in volunteer activities while maintaining anonymity from other volunteers.

        • Important: Organization administrators will always see your information (name, picture, etc.), as this is necessary for managing volunteer activities.



      How Default Settings and Age-Based Privacy Work:

      To ensure safety and compliance with privacy requirements, the system automatically sets your profile's privacy level based on your age:

      • For Volunteers Under 18:

        • Your profile will be automatically set to "Private."

        • You will not be able to select the "Public" option yourself. If you hover over the "Public" option, you will see a message: "All volunteers under 18 are set to Private." This is done to protect your data.

      • For Volunteers Aged 18 and Over (or of unknown age):

        • Your profile will automatically default to "Public" upon registration.

        • You can change this setting to "Private" at any time through your "Profile Settings."

      What happens when you turn 18?

      • When you turn 18, the system will not automatically change your profile from "Private" to "Public."

      • However, you will gain the ability to manually change your profile to "Public" in your "Profile Settings" if you wish to do so.
