For example, if a friend of yours wanted to find you on the service, they can search for your name. If you want your information concealed, you can select \u201cNo One.\u201d rather than \u201cAnyone.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who can see them within games:<\/strong> This changes whether or not your Close Friend can see your name in-game or not.
