# Will my imported data be kept private, or can other users see it?

By default all Simkl profiles are public and everyone can see your watchlists and imported data.

You have the option to make your profile and watchlists private in [Privacy Settings](https://simkl.com/settings/privacy/).

1. Simkl has never sold and will never sell personal identifiable information without you agreeing to it. (With the legal exception of service transfer to another company in case of acquisition). See full details privacy info at <https://simkl.com/about/policies/privacy/>
2. All watchlists are by default not private by the nature of the service and visible to all your friends and Simkl members, etc.
3. You have the option to make your profile private in privacy settings <https://simkl.com/settings/privacy/>
4. Custom Lists have options to make the list Private or Unlisted from the discovery sections.
5. All movies in your Watchlist marked "Adult" are by default hidden from other members looking at your Watchlist.
6. In case you find any bugs with privacy or any ideas on how to improve it, make sure to notify the Simkl developers immediately.
7. Simkl provides an option to clean or delete the account automatically.
8. Clicking on external links going out of the website is not the subject of Simkl's privacy policy and is operated by the policy of that website once you interact with their content, as they can trace your referral which may include your profile IDs.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.simkl.org/how-to-use-simkl/advanced-usage/import-export-data/importing-to-simkl/faq-troubleshooting/will-my-imported-data-be-kept-private-or-can-other-users-see-it.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
