Profile Privacy Settings
Overview
ProductiveRecruit allows you to control which parts of your athletic profile are visible to the public. This gives you flexibility in managing your online presence while ensuring college coaches can always access your complete information when needed.
How Privacy Settings Work
Your profile privacy settings let you show or hide specific information from public view. This is particularly useful if you want to maintain some privacy while still having an active recruiting profile.
Important Note: College coaches can always view your complete profile—including any information you've set to private—when they access it through an email link you send via the ProductiveRecruit platform. This ensures your recruiting efforts aren't hindered by your privacy settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make everything public? A: Yes! Just make sure to turn on all the toggles and click save.
Q: Can I make any field private? A: We only allow you to control the 19 fields described above in this article. Your videos and athletic stats for example will always be visible.
Q: Will hiding information hurt my recruiting chances? A: No. When you send your profile to coaches through ProductiveRecruit, they can see everything regardless of your privacy settings. Privacy settings only affect what casual visitors to your public profile can see.
