Well nothing like trying to be private only to have google toss out your information and make it public. Besides showing your once private information that is tied in with your email but since they auto choose contacts for you to follow it exposes more then you might want. Here is how to make your information a little more private on your google profile.

GO to your Buzz profile and click on your name. Once there you will see this - click on "Google Profile"

Once there click on "Edit Profile"

Then you will see your Google Profile - you need to UNcheck the boxes to the right side (3 boxes):

Once you UNcheck them make sure you scroll down to the botton and hit the save button. Big Grin

When your profile is private this is what they see:

WARNING: Even it you have a private profile if your chat was Public or you chatted in a Public chat then that will show on your private profile.

Made sure you check out this thread also for more privacy tips: Google Buzz Privacy Issues and How to Fix Them.
