<h2>Profile role</h2>

<p>Profiles help people and systems recognize identity without exposing private account data.</p>

{{PageIndex}}
+
A profile is connected to [[Passport]], but it is not the same as authentication credentials. Profiles may include display names, avatars, public links, project associations, contribution history, or community context depending on platform settings.
+
+
## Profile data
+
+
- Display identity and avatar.
+
- Public bio or ecosystem role.
+
- Linked project or organization context.
+
- Public contribution signals.
+
- Optional linked accounts, when user-approved.
+
+
## Privacy guidance
+
+
1. Keep private account fields out of public profiles.
+
2. Let users control optional public information.
+
3. Separate profile visibility from authentication status.
+
4. Avoid exposing internal IDs unless needed for developers.
