Visibility
Yachad is cautious by default: what you do is visible to your friends only. Here everything is in one place. In the app you find the same overview under Profile → Settings → Who sees what? («Wer sieht was?»)
Overview
Section titled “Overview”| What | Who sees it | Change it |
|---|---|---|
| Name, profile picture, @username, “About me” | signed-in people who may see your profile | Profile → Edit profile |
| Main church | visible on your profile, if you set one | church page → Main church ✓ |
| Other churches | only you | – |
| RSVPs to church dates | Friends (default) or Only me | at the date under Visible to |
| Dates on your profile | friends only, never strangers | My RSVPs on my profile (for the “Attending” tab) |
| Your friends list | friends only; everyone else just sees the number | – |
| Look-back, My places, interests, “I’m looking for a church” | only you | Profile → Settings |
| Date of birth | nobody; only used for the protection of minors | – |
| Exact location | not stored | – |
The person who creates a plan decides who sees it under Who can come? Only members and people who said yes see the exact address and the map; everyone else only sees the neighbourhood. Names of participants are only visible to the group, the person who created the plan and anyone who is invited, has asked or said yes themselves. Everyone else only sees numbers. See Create a plan.
Churches
Section titled “Churches”Churches generally only see numbers: how many people list them as “my church”, follow a ministry or are coming to a date. A church never finds out who says yes.
The only exception: churches and ministries that admit members only on request. If you request access there or are a member, the responsible team sees your name, username, profile picture, whether the church is your main church, and your age in years, never your date of birth. Your RSVPs stay anonymous there too.
Friend requests
Section titled “Friend requests”Under Profile → Settings → Privacy → Friend requests from choose Everyone or Only with mutual friends or church.
Blocking
Section titled “Blocking”If you block someone, they no longer see your profile, RSVPs and plans. See Report and block.
Special rules for teenagers
Section titled “Special rules for teenagers”Stricter rules apply to people under 18; for example, adult friends only see shared dates on their profile. See Protection of minors.
The binding rules are in the privacy policy.
