Sharing VisualCVs / Set Privacy Settings

Set your VisualCV's privacy settings to reflect who you want to share with.

When you first joined VisualCV.com, we created two starter VisualCVs for you—a public one and a private one. Your public VisualCV can have a privacy setting of Members, Internet, or Private. Your private VisualCV and any additional VisualCVs you create remain Private until you explicitly share them with someone. You can also take any of your VisualCVs Offline. Tell me more about my public and private VisualCVs

This setting... Applies to this type of VisualCV... And means that...
Members Public VisualCV Any VisualCV.com member can view your VisualCV when that member logs in to VisualCV.com. You can share this VisualCV with a non-member, but that person must first become a member to view it.
Internet Public VisualCV Anyone with an Internet connection can view your VisualCV using your member URL. This privacy setting is great for building a public profile that you can use in social networks and job boards, as a link on your business card, as part of your email signature, and so on. Tell me more about my member URL
Private Public VisualCV, private VisualCV, and any additional VisualCVs you create Nobody can view your VisualCV until you explicitly share it with someone. When you specify an individual to share with, we'll send that person an email and a link to your VisualCV.
Offline Any VisualCV Your VisualCV is inactive—that is, nobody can view it (even if you have already shared it with someone) until you put it back online. This setting is useful when you want to make changes to the VisualCV and you don't want anyone to be able to view your VisualCV until you're finished.

 

TIPS:

  • As you build your public VisualCV's contact information section, keep its privacy setting in mind and take care to omit personal information you might not want a large audience to see, such as home address and telephone number.
  • You can change which VisualCV is your public one. Tell me how
