A public page is genuinely public. That's the feature — but it's worth being deliberate about, because a resume carries more personal information than most things people put on the open web.
Who can see it
Anyone with the link. No sign-in, no password, no per-viewer permission.
Search engines, potentially. A public URL can be indexed and can show up when someone searches your name. That's often the point — but assume it, rather than being surprised by it.
Your current employer, potentially. If you're job hunting quietly, a public resume page is a real disclosure risk. A PDF sent to specific people is the discreet option.
What to think about before publishing
Your contact details. Your email and phone number will be on a page anyone can scrape. A dedicated job-hunt email address is a reasonable precaution.
Your address. You don't need a street address on a resume anyway. Definitely not on a public one — city and country is enough.
Your current employer. Naming them is normal on a resume and is a signal on a public page.
Anything about other people. Clients, colleagues, or projects that aren't yours to publicise.
Your photo. Optional everywhere, and a bigger decision on a public page than a PDF. See should you include a photo at all?
Taking it down
Unpublish from public page. The address stops serving your resume.
Two honest caveats:
Search engines take time. A page that was indexed can linger in results and caches for a while after it's gone. We can't clear another company's cache.
Anything already copied is out. Someone who saved the PDF has the PDF. That's true of anything published anywhere, and it's the reason to think before publishing rather than after.
If someone else's page is a problem
Every public page has a report path. Use it for impersonation, someone else's personal information, or abusive content, and we'll look at it.
Deleting entirely
Deleting the resume that feeds a page removes the page. Deleting your account removes everything — see delete your account.
For a formal request rather than a self-serve action, use privacy request.
Good to know
- Public pages are Premium. If Premium ends, the page stops serving publicly and returns when you upgrade.
- Your other resumes are never visible from a public page. It shows exactly the one you pointed it at.
- The binding detail is in the privacy policy.
