Privacy Controls

Control exactly what each contact can see on your card.

How It Works

Every field on your contact card can be shown to or hidden from each contact. This gives you fine-grained control over your personal information.

Per-Contact Visibility

You control what each individual contact can see.

To Change What Someone Sees

  1. Go to Contacts
  2. Select a contact
  3. Scroll to "What They Can See"
  4. Toggle fields on/off

Visibility Options

For each field, you can set:

  • Visible — The contact can see this field
  • Hidden — The contact cannot see this field

Default Visibility

New fields are visible to everyone by default. You can change this immediately after adding or later.

Labels

Labels help you manage visibility for groups of contacts instead of individuals.

How Labels Work

  1. Create labels like "Family", "Work", "Friends"
  2. Assign contacts to labels
  3. Control visibility per label
  4. Contacts in multiple labels see the union of visible fields

Example Labels

Label What They See
Family Everything
Work Work email, work phone
Friends Personal email, personal phone
Acquaintances Just name

Bulk Changes

On the home screen, tap the visibility button next to any field to:

  • Show to all — Make visible to all contacts
  • Hide from all — Hide from all contacts
  • Customize — Toggle individual contacts

Privacy Notes

  • They don't see changes in real-time — Updates sync when they open the app
  • No notifications — Contacts aren't notified when you hide fields
  • Looks like removal — Hidden fields appear as if you removed them
  • History isn't shared — They only see your current card, not past versions
