Why Privacy Settings Matter
Take control of your information
Your privacy is important. RateAds gives you control over who can see your profile, reviews, and activity. You can choose to be completely public, completely private, or somewhere in between.
The good news is you can change these settings anytime. Start with what feels comfortable and adjust as you use the platform more.

Privacy Tips
Best practices for staying safe
Start Private, Then Open Up
Begin with more private settings, then make things public as you get comfortable.
Check Your Profile
Log out and visit your profile to see what others can see about you.
Review Regularly
Check your privacy settings every few months to make sure they still fit your needs.
What Others Can Always See
Some information is always visible
Public Information
Even with the most private settings, some things are always visible:
- • Your username (but not your real name unless you choose to show it)
- • The fact that you have a RateAds account
- • Public reviews you wrote before changing your settings
This helps keep the platform working properly while protecting your privacy.
