There are two options for removing your profile from Tryst. You can temporarily hide it, or permanently delete it.Ā
When a profile is hidden, it is taken offline temporarily. This means:
- Visiting its URL/address will show a "page not found" message.
- It will not show up in search results or similar/recommended profiles.
- Any users who have favourited you will not see you in their favourites while your profile is hidden.
- Your banner image will no longer load if it's embedded on any external websites.
You can unhide your profile at any time from the Dashboard. No information is deleted when hiding or unhiding your profile, even if you go from a paid plan to the free Lite plan.
Hiding your profile
Log in to your Tryst account and go to the Dashboard.
-
In the Profile section you will see the current status of your profile. Click on the Hide Profile button to change from visible to hidden.
-
To unhide your profile click on Publish Profile to make it visible again.
Deleting your account
My profile is still showing in Google, what do I do?
While we will hide your profile or delete your account immediately, Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other search engines have their own copies of data that we can't force them to remove. In most cases, they will clear old data after about 30-90 days. They also provide ways to request outdated content be removed.
Unfortunately, Tryst can not make these requests on your behalf.
Bing
DuckDuckGo
- DuckDuckGo doesn't have a native tool, as it sources its results from other services. Refer toĀ their list of sources, and check if those sources have a content removal tool available.
