Set Default Privacy Settings

Learn how to manage the default Location Visibility, Post Privacy and Stewardship Settings for your new posts.

Tap your profile photo in the top right corner and select Default Post Privacy.

Location Visibility

Control if others can see the location of your post on the map. Options include:

  • Show Location
  • Hide Location
  • Approximate Location
    • Your post will be displayed as a circle with the real location of your post located somewhere within it. Set the Location Mask Radius to determine how big the circle is.

Post Privacy

Controls who can see your posts. Options include:

  • SIKU Users: Other users can see your post but not use it.
  • Project Members Only: Only members of tagged projects can see your post.*
  • Private: Only you can see your post.*

* Tagging a user lets them see your post even if it’s set to private. Tagging a Project or Organization allows its admins to see your post, no matter the post’s privacy settings.

Stewardship Settings

Give special permission for groups to use data from your posts in certain situations. Options include:

  • Indigenous Stewardship. Allow your tagged community’s affiliated Indigenous organizations to steward this post for the benefit of Indigenous self-determination.
  • Ice Watch Stewardship. Improve ice safety for Indigenous communities by making Ice Posts publicly visible and contributing ice condition data to products such as hazard maps and the SIKU Ice Map.
