What other users see
Your display name, age, bio, tags, public photos, whether you were active recently, and a distance to you rounded to the nearest hundred metres with random noise added, or nothing if you hide your distance. Private album photos are shown only to people you choose, for the period you choose. Nobody sees your coordinates, email, or birthdate.
