By default, when you create a new Profile, it's set as public, so you can share your works with other users, making it available for purchases.


At some point, you might want to make your profile private, so no one can browse your overview page or get access to data linked to your profile accessible from your Profile page. Although this can give you some privacy on certain occasions you might want to keep a low profile, please note other users will not be able to browse or purchase your work until you make your profile publicly available again. Still, you will be able to browse HicceArs using a private profile.


How to make your profile private:


Firstly, you need to get access to your Profile listing page, where you can run some basic management. Click on the Profiles icon and then browse all your profiles page by clicking the link on the top of the drop-down panel.


When browsing your Profiles page, please click on the teal button, so you can make your profile private. The website will display a confirmation pop-up prior to making your profile private, because if you proceed then you might not be able to list or sell your works.
