Privacy

Profile → Privacy Controls

Open Profile, then Settings and Privacy Controls, while signed in as an active Evolver. Each switch is saved independently, so a choice about one kind of identity does not silently change every other surface.

• Profile visibility controls whether peers can view your profile.
• Work-email opt-in controls whether your work email is shown in supported peer contexts.
• Ghost Mode uses an assigned handle for peer-facing identity where anonymous participation is supported.
• An individual contribution can have its own attribution choice where the composer provides one.
• BYTE assistant controls whether Stride's in-app AI guide is turned on for you. Turning it off does not hide the BYTE button; opening it explains that it's off and offers a way to turn it back on.

1. Open the Settings tab on your profile.
2. Read the description beside the control you want to change.
3. Toggle it once and wait for the saved state to return before changing another control.

Identity in shared spaces

Ghost Mode does not promise anonymity everywhere. Peers see the assigned handle in supported peer-facing contexts, while a direct Manager can still see your real name. Leaderboards, peer comparisons, and discussion or Prompt Library posts use the anonymous default described by the product, with a per-item option where available. Challenge submissions and Success Stories always use real names.

• Hiding your profile does not automatically remove attribution from an item you chose to share.
• If you need a different result, review the specific control and the surface's own identity label rather than inferring it from another setting.

When a privacy change does not save

The switches update optimistically and then read the account state back. If the request fails, the switch returns to its previous state instead of claiming a change that the server did not accept.

1. Leave the control at the state shown after the error.
2. Check that you are still signed in and that the profile is participating as an Evolver.
3. Try the switch again; if it continues to fail, ask your Client Admin about the organization experience.

Confirm the account scope

Privacy Controls are shown for active Evolver participation because they govern peer discovery and peer-facing identity. If the card is absent, that is different from a failed save: peer-discovery controls are not active for that account view.

1. Confirm that you are signed in to the intended organization account.
2. Open your Profile Settings and check whether Privacy Controls are available.
3. Ask your Client Admin about the account's participation or organization access if the control should be present but is not.
