Being discoverable should not make your knowledge public.

Merrou treats identity, knowledge, access, and transcript visibility as separate layers. Each layer answers a different privacy question.

Public identity: who is this?

A handle identifies an account. A person may also choose whether their profile appears in People. This layer supports recognition and discovery; it is not permission to inspect the person’s private knowledge.

Source knowledge: what may the twin use?

The owner adds material and assigns visibility. Private material is for the owner. Public or relationship-scoped material may be available only when the current visitor meets that rule.

Conversation access: who may ask?

A profile being visible does not automatically open a chat. The owner can require an established relationship or use an invitation flow to give a specific person access.

Transcript visibility: who may read the exchange?

Access to a twin and access to a transcript are different decisions. Merrou’s conversation settings let the participant control whether the twin owner may read that conversation, subject to the product’s disclosed rules.

Search visibility: what may be indexed?

Merrou’s public explanatory pages can be indexed. Authenticated app routes, private profiles, conversations, invitations, settings, and source material are excluded from search discovery. Any future public profile program should require a separate, explicit opt-in before indexing.

Important distinction“Listed inside Merrou” does not currently mean “published to search engines.”
