Click your name in the top right corner, then click “Manage Privacy.”

There are four levels of privacy from most restrictive to least restrictive, they are:

• Staff Only: Only staff can see your information.
• Leaders: Leaders of any group in Realm can see your information, even if it’s not a group you’re a member of.
• Group Members & Leaders: Anyone who shares a group with you can see your information.
• Anyone in the Church: Anyone who can log into Realm can also see your information.

Each level includes the levels before it; if you select Group Members & Leaders, leaders and staff will be included as well.

You can use the Custom Privacy option to choose different privacy levels for different parts of your information. For example, setting your phone number to staff only but your e-mail to anyone in the church.

Please keep in mind our hope that Realm be a useful source of connection for our congregation. If you have concerns about privacy, e-mail Adam Gough at agough@ucevanston.org.
