How Do I Make My UpWork Profile Private to the Public?

Last updated on January 28, 2023 @ 2:03 pm

When you first create an UpWork account, your profile is automatically set to public. This means that anyone can view your profile, including your work history, skills, and feedback from past clients. If you’re not comfortable with this level of visibility, you can make your profile private so that only people you’ve invited can see it.

To make your profile private:

  1. Log in to your UpWork account.
  2. Click the Settings icon at the top of the page.
  3. Under “Profile Settings,” click “Privacy. “
  4. Check the box next to “Make my profile private.”
  5. Click “Save Changes. “

Keep in mind that, even when your profile is private, potential clients can still send you invitations to apply to their job postings. If you’re not interested in a particular job, you can decline the invitation without making your profile visible to that client.

So there you have it! Making your profile private on UpWork is easy and only takes a few clicks. Doing so will help you maintain control over who can see your information and give you peace of mind knowing that your data is safe.

PRO TIP: If you are looking to make your Upwork profile private to the public, it is important to note that this cannot be done through the Upwork platform. Your profile can only be made private to clients that you have already worked with or have been invited to work with. If you are concerned about your privacy on Upwork, we recommend taking the following steps:

– Do not include any personally identifiable information in your profile or portfolio
– Use a pseudonym or initials instead of your full name
– Choose not to display your location
– Remove your photo
