# Make your profile private

> Hide your public profile and your real name. Free on every plan.

Your profile is the page other people see at `soundverse.ai/@yourusername`. You can lock it so that only you can see it, and you can hide your real name everywhere on Soundverse. Both settings are free on every plan.

## Turn on Private profile

**1. Open My Account**

Click your name at the bottom of the left sidebar, then click **My Account**.

**2. Go to Privacy Settings**

In the Settings window, click **Privacy Settings** in the list on the left.

**3. Switch on Private profile**

Turn on the **Private profile** switch. It saves straight away.

You can also go straight there: [soundverse.ai/account?tab=privacy](https://www.soundverse.ai/account?tab=privacy).

### What changes

* Anyone else who opens your profile sees only your picture, your @username and the message "This creator has made their profile private."
* Your profile is kept out of Google and other search engines.
* You still see your full profile when you are signed in.

### What doesn't change

Songs, videos and playlists you have published stay public under your @username. Private profile hides the profile page, not the things you've published.

To hide one of them, open it in your Library, open its **⋯** menu and click **Make Private**. To share it again later, click **Publish**.

## Hide your real name

On the same **Privacy Settings** tab, turn on **Hide real name**. Your profile, your songs and anything you share then show only your @username.

## Make your profile public again

Go back to **My Account** → **Privacy Settings** and turn **Private profile** off. Your profile is visible to everyone again straight away. Search engines pick it up again the next time they visit it.
