A profile is more than its photo
A bio, a reused username or a listed city can link a profile to another part of your life. Before changing any settings, open your own profile the way a visitor would. Compare what appears when you are logged in, logged out, and when an authorised person views it. These views can show different things.
Strava: profile and activities have their own settings
Strava separates the controls for the profile page, for activities and for map visibility. Hiding part of a map does not make the whole activity private. Check each setting separately. Some changes to defaults apply to future posts: think about your older activities too.
A profile found is not a route found
Stalkcheck’s Strava check can read parts of the athlete profile, depending on what the source provides. It gives no access to private activities or routes. A name found on a page does not let anyone automatically infer your home or your journeys.
Vinted: take another look at your shop window
Vinted states that other members can see, among other things, your username, photo, bio, country, items and reviews. For a personal account, this does not mean your email, phone number or postal address are displayed on the profile. Information exchanged for a transaction and Pro accounts are separate cases.
The right reflex
Look at the details you added yourself in your bio, photos or listings. Keep what helps the people you want to deal with; reconsider what reveals something else. A search of your footprint can explain connections, but no scan replaces checking your own settings and content.
