Visibility of a people page

EPFL does not currently have a strictly internal directory. However, it is possible to restrict certain information to the EPFL community (intranet) and to request the deletion of your People profile.

Setting some elements of your profile on the intranet

Certain elements (photo, postal addresses or telephone number, fonctions, etc.) can be made visible only to the EPFL community (intranet). This information will no longer be indexed by search engines or displayed on public web pages.

  • At least one accreditation (position) must remain public.
  • Internal information is visible to anyone using the EPFL network (on campus or via VPN), without necessarily being logged in.

To choose the visibility of the various profile elements, use the block with three options:

  • Profil people - Ă©lĂ©ment visible publiquementis publicly visible
  • Profil people - Ă©lĂ©ment visible en interne (intranet)is only visible on the intranet
  • Profil people - Ă©lĂ©ment cachĂ©, visible uniquement par le propriĂ©taire du profilis hidden, only visible to the profile owner

Complete deletion of your profile

To have your profile completely deactivated:

  • If you work at EPFL (staff + hosts)
    Send your request to the person in charge of accreditations in your unit. They will need to deactivate the ‘Parution dans l’annuaire Web’ property on all your accreditations (botweb = no).
  • If you are a student at EPFL
    Send your request to [email protected].
    If you are also a member of a student association recognised by EPFL, please contact [email protected] if you do not want this information to appear in the directory. This is because association members are visible by default.

Deactivated profiles cannot be included on a laboratory (or other unit) web page. When a profile is no longer publicly visible, it is no longer available via the automatic display service offered by the EPFL WordPress service.

Removal of a page (from search engines)

Please request the un-indexing of your page on Google at [email protected] . Only deactivated pages can be un-indexed.
