How to set my personal information to Private

Hide your email, phones, or addresses from other members of your organization.

New Horizon Experience. This article describes the New Horizon Experience. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS, New Horizon is already what you see. On a computer or laptop, choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. You can switch back from that menu any time.

​

This article covers the Privacy switches on Personal Profile in HorizonWebRef. Every signed-in member uses this page for their own profile in the organization they are signed into.

​

Use it when you want other members to see less of your contact details. Assignors and organization administrators can still use that information for assignments and management. For the rest of the profile, see Personal Profile.

​

Both layouts are in use right now. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps you see the New Horizon Experience. On a computer or laptop, the older legacy layout stays until you choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. Match the steps to the screen in front of you.

What Private means

​

By default, other members of your organization can see the contact details you have not marked Private. Your information is never shown outside the organizations you belong to, whether or not you use these switches.

​

Items marked Private are hidden from most members. These people can still see them:

​

  • You

  • Assignors in that organization

  • Organization administrators in that organization

  • Horizon technical support, as described in the Privacy Policy

​

You can mark home address, work address, email addresses, and individual phone numbers as Private. Private email still receives messages sent directly to you or from game or event crews. The setting does not stop emails or notifications from arriving.

​

These settings are stored per organization. Switch organization first if you belong to more than one.

​


​

Turn Privacy on

​

Sign in, then open Personal Profile from your account menu. On New Horizon, open the Privacy tile (or Privacy in the left sidebar on a computer).

Privacy on a phone. Email and home phone each have a Private switch. Both currently say Visible to members.

On a computer, the same screen uses the wider layout.

Privacy on a computer. Email and home phone each have a Private switch. Both currently say Visible to members.

Use the Private switch on each item you want to hide. The label reads Visible to members when other members can see that item. Save the Privacy section if the page still shows unsaved changes.

​

On the Members Directory, other members then see Hidden for those details. Assignors and organization administrators still see the real values when they are allowed to.

​


​

If you still see the older legacy desktop or laptop layout

​

On the older all-in-one profile, Privacy is a set of checkboxes on the same long form, not a Privacy tile. Home address, work address, email, and phone numbers are still the items you can hide. Assignors and organization administrators can still see Private details. The Privacy tile and Visible to members wording belong to the New Horizon Experience.
