private_seed status explained

A `private_seed=true` profile exists in the system but doesn't appear on public lists, search, or your own preview. Used for customer/employee records and influencers brought in privately by a brand.

When private_seed is set

  • Customers imported for Customer Advocacy, always private_seed=true
  • Employees synced from HRIS for Employee Advocacy, always private_seed=true
  • Influencers manually added by a brand (e.g. a long-standing contact who isn’t on the marketplace), private_seed=true until they self-claim
  • Influencers who opted out of public discovery via Profile → Privacy → Private

What it changes

  • Profile doesn’t appear in public marketplace lists
  • Search by handle returns no public result
  • Public URL /influencer/{handle} returns a “profile is private” page
  • Only the inviting brand can see and contact the profile

What it doesn’t change

  • The contact still has a Keepface workspace and can log in
  • Campaigns they’re in continue normally
  • Wallet, earnings, payouts work as usual

Influencer perspective

If a brand added you to their CRM before you signed up, you start in private_seed. You can self-claim from your invitation email and flip to public discovery in Profile → Privacy → Visibility at any time.
