Managing your contact visibility settings

Control who can view and export your contact information—such as your email address and phone number—on the event platform. These visibility settings protect your privacy and help you decide how and with whom you engage during the event.

After completing onboarding, you can update your contact visibility settings to control who can access your information. These settings enhance your privacy and help you manage how you engage with other participants.

Note: Contact details may be pre-filled based on your registration. While you can control their visibility, editing your email or phone number must be done via the My Profile section on the desktop web platform.

Why contact visibility settings matter

Your contact visibility settings give you control over how your personal details are shared with other event participants. These settings are especially important in networking environments where privacy, connection preferences and data sharing policies vary by event.

By managing your visibility settings, you can:

  • Protect your contact information from being accessed by everyone on the platform

  • Choose to share details only with participants you’ve connected with

  • Enable easier follow-up by making details available to trusted contacts

Note: While visibility can be adjusted, some fields (such as your email or phone number) may be locked and can only be edited on the desktop web version of the platform.

Where to find contact visibility settings

After completing onboarding, you can manage who sees your contact information—such as your email address and phone number—by adjusting your visibility settings. These settings are available in your profile and can be updated at any time.

Caution: Contact visibility controls may vary depending on the event setup. In some cases, visibility options may be restricted or not available.
