lichess privacy question

Hi,
I do care about privacy in general.
Is it possible to make an account details invisible to others? I mean the games, time when i play, who i played with, what we talked about, what i played, hide posts on forum bookmark and others things.

If I'm not mistaken, 'what we talked about' is indeed hidden.
Why would you want all this stuff? Does your boss hate chess?

at least

"Why would you want all this stuff? Does your boss hate chess?"

i dont like spying, hate tracking.
Chats are private, games are public, forum posts are public (doh).
You'll have to play as anonymous if you don't want your games to be associated with your account.
That would make cheating impossible to detect then - simply fire up the engine, make your games invisible to others and you're the Lichess Magnus Carlsen in no time... that should not happen,so I don't see games being made private.
The first and foremost thing that lichess needs to do from a privacy standpoint is to get rid of google analytics. Google is dangerous, Google spies on people online, and lichess helps Google, because Google is present here.
#7 No, it would just simplify cheating for most bad cheaters who are just good enough to avoid the automatic detection.
