Visibility

Generally speaking, the content and reactions you share in the social network are visible to all users in the social network.
Any comments you make in XING Klartext/Zukunft.machen articles are subject to a greater degree of visibility. This information can also be accessed outside of the social network for non-users and can be found in online search engines.
For individual features the level of visibility may be more restricted (e.g. only visible to contacts). In such cases you will be informed about visibility when using the respective feature. Please be aware that even if you restrict visibility, the content and reactions that you share may become visible beyond your own network if your contacts choose to share this information with other users.
