Your Privacy
Creativebug requires you to create an account that is a public profile. Here's how to avoid sharing your personal information:
- Creativebug user profiles display First Name, Last Name, and Bio, and they will only display initials for first and last name.
- If you want to use Creativebug while avoiding sharing personal information, you can completely customize all of those fields. For example, you could enter First Name as simply S, Last Name as S, and leave the Bio field blank.
- Personal profile settings are managed via Access My Account in the menu in the upper right-hand corner of the Creativebug website once you've signed in to your account. These settings are not accessible via the Creativebug mobile app.
