For the personal profile covered by the cited guidance, private is the default. If that profile is public, anyone signed in to the service can view it. The first setting to check is therefore the one that explicitly controls profile visibility—not an assumed general AI privacy setting.
What do the two profile states mean?
| Profile state | What the guidance establishes |
|---|---|
| Private | It is the default. The cited statement does not enumerate every possible access or sharing exception. |
| Public | Anyone signed in to the service can view the profile. |
A broader AI setting should not be treated as proof that a profile is private. Its relationship to profile visibility is not established by the cited statements.
How to check it
- Open the current account or profile privacy controls.
- Locate the setting that explicitly refers to personal profile visibility.
- Check whether the current state is private or public.
- Review any access, sharing, or exception controls before assuming the default still applies.
The exact menu path and current control label remain unverified, so they should be confirmed in the live interface rather than guessed.
What the reader must still confirm
The reader must verify the profile’s current visibility state, any exceptions attached to a private profile, and whether a separate AI setting affects who can view the profile. Until those details are confirmed, the supported conclusion remains simple: private is the stated default, while public means anyone signed in to the service can view the profile.
