Do not set your profile picture to a selfie.ģ. You can always set up a different email address if you need to.Ģ.
Use an email that doesn’t contain your name/date of birth/any personal identifier. I’ve noticed over my time on Patreon that many of my pledges use their real names and even have photos of themselves as their profile pic.Īs has been said in other posts, with your email address, full name and picture, I would then very easily be able to track your other social medias and most likely find out more sensitive information about you. I can still see this even if you delete your pledge. When you pledge to me, I can see the email you used to sign up to the site.
I wanted to make this simple guide to let you know what I, as a Patreon creator, can see when you pledge to me, and how you can avoid malicious creators from finding your personal information. This may have already been made, but I plan on sharing this on my patreon/discord anyway.
