Why do I need to change my Profile Visibility?
Setting your profile visibility to public allows anyone on the internet with your profile details to view your stats. This means they can see your KDA, hours played, and much more. While this might not matter to some, there are others who wouldn’t want to share their gaming information with others. They can set their profile visibility to private.
In some cases, third-party stats websites would need you to change your profile visibility to public in order to read the data on your profile. One such example is Tracker.gg when you want to check how many hours you have spent in Overwatch.
