Control who sees what

Defaults here are conservative, and every visibility lever is yours.

The levers

• Public profile — your profile page is public and indexable by search engines. What's on it is what you've chosen to add.
• Salary — never public. Salary entries feed only aggregate statistics, and only once at least five people are in a segment. See How salary sharing works.
• Leaderboard — you can opt out of appearing on the contribution leaderboard from Edit Profile.
• Recruiter outreach — a profile toggle controls whether recruiters can send you outreach requests at all.
• Feed sharing — every milestone add has a share checkbox; unchecked means no feed post.
• Timeline entries — individual roles and education can be excluded from your visual timeline.

Privacy-related settings are mirrored in Settings so you don't have to hunt for them.
