# Secure user data?

 * So I inherited a website that is using this plugin to hide menus and options 
   from anyone who isn’t a logged in user. That part seems to work fine. But Google
   robots got in and cataloged all of this data somehow and private user data was
   sent to the internet search engines (user names, addresses, phone numbers, email
   addresses and the like)! Is this truly how this plugin works? If so, there is
   nothing secured here! What am I missing?

 * [@gwledford](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwledford/) – Only way that 
   is possible is a misconfigured cache, but that wouldn’t have anything to do with
   our plugin as any info rendered and then cached would be served to any subsequent
   requests.
 * Otherwise our plugin simply shows content based on the currently logged in user,
   but we don’t determine that, WP does. So if google is indexing logged in user
   content, either google is logged in to your site, or getting copies of the site
   that were cached when a user was logged in.
 * Hope that helps.

 * [@gwledford](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwledford/) – Also it should
   be noted, we don’t offer options for displaying anything other than name & email,
   so if you are considering us as the source of printing address/phone that is 
   a 100% impossible.
