+The following information will be hidden from the user profile page (https://gitlab.example.com/username) if this feature is enabled:
+
+- Atom feed
+- Date when account is created
+- Activity tab
+- Groups tab
+- Contributed projects tab
+- Personal projects tab
+- Snippets tab

+To enable private profile:
+
+1. Navigate to your personal [profile settings](#profile-settings).
+1. Check the "Private profile" option.
+1. Hit **Update profile settings**.
+

+NOTE: **Note:**
+You and GitLab admins can see your the abovementioned information on your profile even if it is private.
