There are two types of profiles on Meetup: Meetup profiles and group profiles. Information from both of these profile types may be visible to search engines or to other Meetup members. You can edit your privacy settings from the Privacy page. Learn more about Meetup content and search engines.
What information is visible on a Meetup profile?
When you create a Meetup account, your basic account information appears on your Meetup profile. You can edit this information from your Account page.
The information listed on your Meetup profile may be visible to Meetup members, non-members, and search engines, including:
- First name
- Account location
- Profile photo
- "Member since" date
- Other Meetup groups you're a member of (editable from the Privacy page)
- Interests (editable from the Privacy page)
What information is visible on a group profile?
You have a separate group profile for each of the groups that you join. Meetup group organizers can choose between two content visibility settings: public or private. These settings determine how much of a group’s membership information is visible to non-members and search engines.
Public groups
The profile information listed on a public group page may be visible to Meetup members, non-members, and search engines, including:
- First name
- Account location
- Profile photo
- "Member since" date
- Other Meetup groups you're a member of (editable from the Privacy page)
- Interests (editable from the Privacy page)
- Group bio
- Answers to profile and event questions
Private groups
When a group's content visibility is set to private, only members of that group will be able to see your group profile information and answers to profile and event questions.
