Can people see the email in my shinyapp.io profile?

I created an account to deploy an app for the public, but then I noticed there is a "Profile" in my dashboard. Is this profile public so that people can find and view it? My email address is required in the profile, but I do not want to disclose my email address.

(I tried the help page in the dashboard, but the link is invalid.)

Hello,

That profile is not publicly facing. If you try to open in an incognito browser tab, you'll see that you are forced to login.

Hope this helps,

Alex

Thanks a lot! I had that question because the profile pages in other platforms are usually something that we can set to be public or private, but I found no such option in shinyapps.io. I now understand that it's different from those profiles.
