# How do I make my content private?

> Each upload has a Make public switch. Folders are private unless you share them. There is no single switch for the whole account.

## Uploads, flashcards and quizzes

1. Open the upload or set.
2. Open its settings.
3. Turn **Make public** off.

Private content is only visible to you. It is removed from search and from your public profile. You can make it public again at any time. A public upload must be private before you can edit it.

## Folders

Folders you create are private by default. They only become visible to others when you share them.

## Your whole profile

There is no setting that hides the whole account. Your username and any public uploads are visible to other students. To stay private, keep uploads private and choose a username that does not contain your real name. See *Who can see my profile and my school?*

## Your school

Set who can see your school under **Account settings**, **School privacy**.

## Remove content about me

If someone uploaded content that contains your personal data, report the upload. See *How do I report content or a user?*
