How participants can hide their first and last name from public pages and apps. Participants will appear on game centres as 'Private Player'
Privacy Settings
The PlayHQ Account holder can set the 'Privacy Setting' for their own participants' profile and/or that of their children/dependants. This setting controls whether the first and last name appears, or is hidden from public display on game centres or on any public-facing PlayHQ webpage or mobile app. Administrators are always able to view the name and other details of registered participants.
Controlling the Privacy Setting of a participant registered to your account
The PlayHQ Account holder will need to login to their PlayHQ Profile Account by selecting the 'Log in' button on any PlayHQ webpage:
Once you have logged in, you will initially be viewing the Profile of the account holder:
You can elect to 'Change user' to switch the view to one of the child/dependants who have been registered using this account (if any have been registered in this way).
From the relevant participant's 'Profile' tab, scroll to the bottom of the page and select 'Edit' to toggle the Privacy Settings to be either 'Public' or 'Private'. Your selection is immediately enacted in the PlayHQ platform. Use the screen image and table below to help make the appropriate decision:
| Privacy Setting | Description |
| Public | Display my first and last name on all public pages and mobile application |
| Private | Hide my name on all public pages and mobile application, meaning you will appear as 'private player' to those viewing these pages. Administrators will always be able to view your details. |
