What is privacy?

Public

A public collection has the following characteristics:

• visible on your profile to other users and to guests

• can be found via the search page on Whyp

• indexed by search engines

You might decide to make your collection public if you wish to have other Whyp users discover your content or you are using it to organise your tracks.

Private tracks you own within a public collection you own are visible to you but hidden from other users.

Refreshing a token for a private collection

Sometimes you might want to revoke access to a collection that you have previously shared without making it public or having to re-upload it. To do this, you can use the refresh token button in the share window. You will be asked to confirm before the token is refreshed.
