How can I change the privacy settings on a LifeWeb?

There are two Privacy Modes that you can set for your person's LifeWeb, and you can easily change them at any time:

  • Community Mode: In Community Mode, anyone can view your person's LifeWeb and post memories to it. *LifeWeb names & obituaries will appear on Google and Bing so they’re easy for everyone to find! Community Mode encourages more people to share memories as they can see the contributions from others to guide the way.
  • Invite-Only Mode: In Invite-Only Mode, only people who have been invited by an Admin can view the LifeWeb and post memories to it. LifeWeb names and obituaries will not appear on Google or Bing so the pages remain private. Invite-Only Mode encourages an engaged community to share in a private environment. To learn more about inviting people to a LifeWeb in Invite-Only Mode, click here.

*Note: Google and Bing can only see a LifeWeb’s URL, name, cover image, and obituary. Search engines do not have access to any memories—including text, photos, and video links—shared on a LifeWeb.
