Introduction

If you are on are the dating site Match you probably know that your profile, when published is in plain view for all of the world to see. Any one, whether they are a member on match or not can view your profile and your primary photo. If they are a member, and have signed in to Match, they can view all of your secondary photos as well.

If you are concerned about keeping your profile public, you can easily remove your Match user profile from public view. In other words, only you will be able to see your profile when you are logged in. No one else will be able to see it.

You might want to do this if you have met that wonderful girlfriend or boyfriend and no longer need your user profile to be out where anyone can see it. You might along take your profile down to simply because you need a break from online dating.

Regardless of your reason, taking your user profile down on match is pretty easy. You will not need special codes to hide your profile or any internet voodoo to make your information invisible.

The article I have written below will take you through the steps so that you can take your Match profile down easy.

Step 1 - Sign in

The first step is to simply sign in to your Match dating site account. Go ahead and log-in.

Step 2 Make Sure You Are Home

You might already be there, but after you log in to Match.com click on "Home" to make sure you are on your home page.

"Home" is located on the top, center area of your computer screen.

Step 3 Visibility Settings

Look to the left side of the screen. Just beneath your profile photo (if you have posted a profile photo to your account,) you will see a number of options to click. Go ahead and select "Visibility Settings"

Step 4 Profile Visibility

Match.com will give you two options with regard to your user profile visibility:

1. "Visible" Visible keeps your profile visible to the world 100% of the time.

2. "Hidden" Hidden hides your profile. In other words, your profile is invisible to everyone except for you.

Step 5 Hide It!

Click the radio button that is next to "Hidden"

Step 6 - The Weird Part

OK, at this point, you are not going to be sure what to do. You have already clicked the radio button next to "Hidden" Shouldn't there be a "Save" button or "Apply Settings" button or something?

Nah. They don't offer any more choices here. Just click the "Hidden" radio button on the screen and then exit the screen however you want. I just went back to my user home page. The hidden setting will remain and your profile will officially be taken down out of the view of the world.

What Happens to My Information?

Nothing! It is all still there and you can view it or update it at anytime. Just because you have taken down your Match profile doesn't mean that it no longer exists. All of your interests, favorite hot spots and other relationship compatibility stuff is still there, it is just that the world can not see it.

You can always make your profile public again at any time.

I hope that Helps

Finding that someone special is tough but sometimes getting away from suitors, girlfriends, boyfriends, stalkers, and well intentioned people can be tough. As far as Match goes, this will certainly make your personal information hard to find and will afford you some internet privacy when it comes to your online relationships.

Thank for checking out this article. Good luck in searching for love!
