Can I Send a Link Without My Personal Info Showing?
Asked by
CuriousExplorer99
I'm looking to share a link with others, but the page contains my personal details that I don't want them to see. Is there a way to create a version of the link that doesn't include my personal data? I've done some research, and it seems possible to change the site for myself, but any changes revert after refreshing. I also experimented with the source code but couldn't find a permanent solution. Any advice?

You could create a separate page that doesn't display your personal information. This way, when you share the link, people will access just that page without any of your details showing.

Think of the Internet as a big computer. When you send someone a link, it's like directing them to a file. If you change that file, they'll see the updates. You can also use "URL parameters" to customize what they see. For example, you could use a link like site.com/?access=public&name=hidden, where your file checks these parameters to show or hide specific details.
CuriousExplorer99: So, I would just replace "name" with something like "MyName" to hide it, right?

Just to clarify, you're looking to share a webpage without exposing your personal info? There are plenty of ways to do this—like creating a clean version of the site you're linking to that doesn’t show any details about you.
CuriousExplorer99: Yes! The current webpage automatically includes my info, and I want to share it while keeping my details private.
