Set My Privacy in Group Life

Group Life provides participants a way to see who's in their group and view contact information so they can connect with each other. However, you may not want to share all your details, especially if the group is very large. After all, privacy is important! So, participants can choose which information other group members can see. If needed, you can hide all your information so only group leaders and primary contacts of the group can view it.

Privacy Options

You can select whether the following information is visible to all group members or group leaders only:
  • Birthday
  • Email
  • Home Phone
  • Mobile Phone
  • Address
  • Photo

All options (except for Photo) default to Group Leaders Only until you make a selection. Initially, everyone in your group can see your photo. Carefully consider who is in your groups and what information you want them to have access to. Remember, groups are all about the connecting with other participants, and sharing this information provides a way for others to connect with you. The decision is yours!

Privacy options apply to each of your groups separately. So, for example, you may allow your close-knit small group to see all of your information but hide your phone numbers and address from the larger community group you're in.

Show or Hide My Information

  1. From your church's website, log in to Group Life. The way each church sets this up may differ. Reach out to your church admin for help logging in.
