Are my Overleaf projects private?

Yes, every project you create is automatically private. Other Overleaf users can't see your projects in Overleaf unless you deliberately share them with others via the Share menu.

When link sharing is enabled, Overleaf creates a unique token used only for the link to that project. It is almost impossible to guess the token, and hence the link to your project is known only to you.

If you turn link sharing on, please note that if you publish the link to your project on a website or somewhere public, anybody can use the link and the website where your link is posted might even be included in search engine results.

For more information, please see the Privacy Policy tab on our Terms of Service page.
