    Hi WordPress Staff
    I had some questions

    Regards to privacy, how much of my information would be shared ? If I was free or a paid member or business plan ? E.g my personal details

    I was reading people can find blog users person information by searching there blog online through a directory ? Is this true? Like number , address etc ?

    Hi there,

    We do not disclose personal information you provide to us to anyone. When you comment on a site, the site owner can see your email address and the IP address from which you left the comment. That’s the only place personal information you provide to us is ever revealed.

    You can view our privacy policy in this regard here:

    Privacy Policy

    But any information you add to your public profile, or to a public website hosted on our servers, is visible to anyone who has access to the internet.

    I was reading people can find blog users person information by searching there blog online through a directory ?

    People can search for sites hosted on WordPress.com in the Reader. But that search indexes your site based on the content. If you don’t use your real name as your username, and don’t post any personal information on the site itself, there is no possible way anyone could find the blog by searching for your name.
