On FindPenguins you do not choose a global privacy setting for your entire profile. Instead, every trip on FindPenguins holds its individual privacy setting. Depending on this privacy setting, people can or cannot see a trip and the footprint posts inside the trip.
When creating a trip, you can choose out of four possible privacy options:
- Public
Trips marked with the privacy setting ”Public” will be visible to any visitor of your FindPenguins profile. This also includes people, that are not signed into FindPenguins. - Followers
Trips with the privacy setting “Followers” can only be seen by the people following you.To become a follower, it is essential to sign up on FindPenguins and to tap the “Follow” button on your profile. Creating an account is necessary, so we can safely identify your followers. To share a trip with this privacy setting with non members, you can share a private link.
- Close friends

- Private
Private trips are only visible to yourself and your fellow travelers.
Regardless of the privacy setting of a trip, you can mark individual footprints or photos as private.
