How can users manage what is publicly visible on their SoundCloud profile?

While it’s not possible to make your entire SoundCloud account private, you can control the visibility of certain elements:

1. Publicly Visible Information:
   The following will always be publicly available to anyone who visits your profile:
   • Your profile artwork, description, and website links
   • Your likes
   • Your reposts
   • Comments you've made
   • Who you follow
   • Who follows you

What strategies can users employ to maintain privacy for specific content on SoundCloud?

To maintain privacy for specific content:

1. Make Uploads and Playlists Private:
   • You have the option to make all of your uploads and playlists private. When you set content to private, it will not be visible or accessible to others unless you explicitly permit them.
   • This is a useful strategy for sharing content with a select audience or keeping certain tracks and playlists hidden from public view.
2. Adjust Track and Playlist Privacy Settings:
   • If you want to control who can listen to your tracks or playlists, consider changing the privacy settings for each upload. You can make a track or playlist private at any time, even after it has been uploaded.
   • For more detailed instructions on how to change these settings, you can visit SoundCloud's guide on track and playlist privacy.
3. Lastly, you can also change your profile picture and your URL and username.

What additional steps can users take to ensure their privacy on SoundCloud?

To further maintain your privacy on SoundCloud:

1. Be Mindful of Public Interactions:
   • Since likes, reposts, comments, and follows are always public, be selective about your interactions if you want to maintain a lower profile.
2. Limit Public Information on Your Profile:
   • Although your profile artwork, description, and website links are public, you can choose to limit the amount of personal information you share in these sections. Consider using general or artist-related information rather than personal details.
3. Regularly Review Privacy Settings:
   • Make it a habit to review your privacy settings and adjust them as needed, especially when uploading new content or updating your profile.
