Who can see what is on my profile?
Mello is designed for getting to know other parents. Everyone who registered at Mello is able to view your profile by default.
We ask you to use your own judgement with what you are willing to share on your profile. You can use the "preview" on your profile to find out, how your profile looks to the other users. 

I don’t want certain people to be able to see my profile

You can Block users who you do not wish to see your profile.

I want to hide my profile temporarily from public view

You can Snooze your profile to hide it temporarily.

Why do you ask for my full name?

We ask for your full name in order to keep accountability between users on the feed and to create a more trusted atmosphere in Mello. If you are very uncomfortable with using your surname then you can use an initial or a variation of your surname.

Do I have to put my kids' names?

No. You do not have to put your kid’s names anywhere on Mello.

Sharing photos safely

Photos you upload to your profile are visible to other users on Mello. It is at your own discretion whether you choose to upload photos of just yourself, or of your family as well. We ask that people have at least one profile photo, and that it is a clear image which they appear in, in order to increase trust in the community.

I can't delete my profile photo

When you have only one photo uploaded you can't delete it until you upload another one. 

Why do I have to give my address?

We ask for your address so that we can show the distance between yourself and other Mello users. If you are uncomfortable giving your full address, you can just give the street you live on or even just the postal code. 

Will anyone be able to see my home address?

No. Your address and location will never be visible to other users.
