Getting Started

Choosing What’s Public

Nothing on your MIPACE profile is visible to anyone by default. Every section , Identity, Communication, Assistance, Medical, Emergency, Neurodiversity/Cognitive, Safety, Other , has its own visibility switch, and every one starts switched off.

How it works

Visibility is set per section, not per field. Switching on “Medical,” for example, makes every filled-in field within that section visible on your public profile , you can’t show your allergies while hiding your medication within the same section. If you want tighter control over one particular detail, keep it in a section you leave private, or word it carefully within a section you do make public.

Why it’s set up this way

A simpler privacy model is easier to understand at a glance , you should always be able to look at your profile and know exactly what a stranger tapping your device would see, without needing to check field by field.

An empty section stays hidden either way

Even if you switch a section’s visibility on, it won’t appear on your public profile unless there’s actually something written in it. Empty sections are never shown, public or not.

Previewing your public profile
