Profile visibility is set in Settings → Privacy. Shelves and reviews have their own public/private controls. Making a profile public is not the same as making every record public.
Your public name, username, and other shared details make up your presence for other readers. Your email and any last name you have not chosen to display are not shown as public information.
Joining a club also shares activity within that group, including your progress on its current book. Consider your club participation alongside your profile settings.
Step by step
- Open Settings → Privacy and review your profile visibility.
- Open the custom shelves and reviews you want to check and review their visibility options.
- Use the public profile preview to check how you appear.
- Also review blocked readers and anything you chose to share as images or links.
