Public vs. private artist profiles

Your artist profile is public by default. There's a toggle at the top-right of your own artist page to flip it to private when you'd rather keep it out of public hands.

What "public" actually means

• A page at submithub.com/artist/[your-slug]: bio, photos, tracks, social links, follower count. Anyone with the URL can open it.
• The artist picker at upload time: when someone tries to upload a song under the same artist name, your existing profile shows up as a match they can attach to.
• The chat user-info modal: when other users open the info card on your chat, they see an "Associated artists" list of every public artist profile tied to your account.
• Follow button: other users can follow you and get an email when you release a new song.

Artist pages aren't indexed by search engines, so flipping privacy doesn't change anything on the Google side.

What flipping to private does

• The page locks down for general users. The /artist/[your-slug] page returns "This profile is either private or does not exist" for random visitors, fans, and other artists who aren't connected to it.
• Industry users still see it. Curators you send to can still load the page. The toggle is meant to hide the profile from the general public, not from people who might be reviewing your submissions.
• The artist is hidden from the upload picker for people who don't already have a song on it. Collaborators, band members, or label staff who already co-own a track on your profile still see it and can keep adding songs.
• The chat user-info modal stops listing the profile. Even industry users won't see it among your associated artists in that card.
• The "follow" disappears from the header, and other users can't start following. Existing followers stay attached on the back-end but lose the public page to manage from.

What private doesn't change

• Submissions still work normally. Curators reviewing your songs see the artist name on each track and can click through to your profile from there.
• Songs, campaigns, and stats are untouched. Privacy only affects discovery of the profile page; everything tied to your music keeps running.
• You and any authorized editors can still see and edit the profile from your own account.

Where to flip the toggle

Open your artist profile from your account (your artists are listed there). At the top-right of your own profile page you'll see a privacy lever labeled either Public or Private. Click to swap. The change takes effect immediately.
