How can you tell if your profile is private? Just checked mine and don't see anything that distinguishes public from private.

1. Copy permalink to profile in clipboard.

2. Logout from your google account.

3. Going to google profile permalink, should not show your profile information.

4. Login to another google account.

5. Going to google profile permalink, should not show your profile information.

Or just open a private/anonymous session in another browser window :)

If you edit your profile, you'll see a field that says "Visible in Search." I think that's it, though I'm not sure.

That doesn't make your profile private, just not show up in Google searches.
