Privacy and Security Settings
Your settings give you control over your password, email, notifications, public profile visibility, and your data. This guide covers all of them so you can keep your account secure and your information private.
Overview
Everything here lives in your Settings page, across three tabs:
Account & Security: password, email, notifications, data download, sign out, and account deletion
Appearance: interface language
Public Profile: whether your profile is private or shareable, and what is visible on it
Managing your password
Changing your password
Go to Settings and open the Account & Security tab
Find the Security Settings section, then the card
Change Password
Enter your current password to verify it is you
Enter your new password (at least 6 characters)
Confirm the new password
Click Update Password
Each field has a show/hide toggle. The new password must be different from the current one.
Profile Activity: profile-related updates such as document and milestone activity
System Announcements: platform updates, new features, important notices
Changes save automatically. Even with email off, in-app notifications still appear in your dashboard.
Public profile and what you share
Your profile is private by default. You decide if and when it becomes shareable.
In the Public Profile tab you can:
Pick a username for a shareable profile link (goausbildung.com/student/your-username)
Switch your profile between Private (only you can see it) and Public
Control, section by section, what shows on a public profile, including:
Headline and bio
Education and work experience
Languages and skills
Visa status, availability date, preferred cities, and location
When your profile is public:
You can share the link with people you choose
It may be indexed by search engines
You see a count of which sections are visible and which are hidden
When your profile is private, none of it is visible to anyone but you. You can switch back to private at any time.
This is a profile link you share on your own terms. GoAusbildung is not a marketplace where employers browse profiles, message you, or contact you through the platform. There is no in-platform employer messaging.
Your data
Download your data
GoAusbildung supports your right to a copy of your data.
The export is a full copy of your data, including your profile, education, work experience, languages, skills, saved jobs, applications, documents, and more. Save the file somewhere safe.
Sign out from all devices
In Account Management, click Sign Out
This logs you out everywhere and clears active sessions
Sign out from all devices if you suspect unauthorized access, used a shared computer, or lost a device.
Deleting your account
Account deletion is permanent. Here is how it works:
Review what will be deleted (profile, timeline and eligibility data, saved preferences, application progress, your documents and uploads)
Type DELETE to confirm and click Confirm Deletion
Your account is then scheduled for deletion with a 30-day recovery period. If you change your mind within those 30 days, contact support to stop it. After 30 days, your data is permanently and irreversibly removed.
Before deleting, use Download Data to keep a copy of anything you might want later.
Security best practices
Passwords
Use at least 8 characters, mixing upper and lower case, numbers, and symbols
Do not reuse a password from another site
Do not include personal details like your name or birthday
Email
Keep your address current and accessible
Turn on two-factor authentication with your email provider
Official GoAusbildung emails come from @goausbildung.com, and we never ask for your password
Devices
Always sign out on shared or public computers
Keep your browser and operating system updated
Be careful on public Wi-Fi
If you notice login attempts you do not recognize, changes you did not make, or messages claiming to be from GoAusbildung that ask for payment or your password, message us on WhatsApp (opens in a new tab), or email hello@goausbildung.com right away.
Troubleshooting
"Current password is incorrect"
Recheck what you typed using the show/hide toggle, and make sure Caps Lock is off
You control your own security and privacy on GoAusbildung: change your password and email with verification, fine-tune your notifications, keep your profile private or share it on your terms, export a full copy of your data anytime, and delete your account with a 30-day recovery window. Review your privacy and security settings whenever your needs change.
