Privacy & account management
Under Account Settings you can change your email address, password, and personal information.
Researcher privacy is a fundamental principle of ORCID; ORCID provides you with three settings: Public, Limited or Private
Everyone
Information marked as "everyone" can be viewed by anyone who comes to the ORCID.org website or consumed by anyone using the ORCID public API. Data marked as public will also be included in the public data file posted annually by ORCID.
Trusted Parties
Information marked as "Trusted" can be seen by any Trusted Parties that you have authorised to connect to your ORCID Record. These connections require explicit action on your part. You can also give permission to Trusted Parties to update your ORCID record. You can revoke this permission at any time.
Only Me
Information marked as "Only Me" can only be seen by you. It is also used by ORCID algorithms to help distinguish your identity from another person who may have a similar name, be it in a similar field, or may be confused with you for other reasons.
