# Profile Settings

Your SecretMate profile is your personal hub — where you set up how you show up, what your companion knows about you, and how you manage your account. To access your settings, select your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen.

### Username

Your username is your unique account identifier, and the name other users will see for you on SecretMate. You can change it at any time in the "Username" section of your Profile Settings.

To save your changes, scroll to the bottom of the page and select **Update**.

### Chat Name

Your chat name is how you'll appear in conversations — it shows up on the messages you send and is how companions will refer to you. Chat names don't need to be unique; you can use any name you want, regardless of whether another user is using it.

You can change your chat name in the "Name" section of your Profile Settings. When you're finished, select **Update** at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

### Avatar

You can set or change your profile avatar in the "Avatar" section of your Profile Settings. This is also the avatar you'll see for yourself when chatting with companions.

To create one, select **Generate Avatar** and use SecretMate's image generator to bring your avatar to life with a text prompt. If you need help writing a good prompt, take a look at our [Image Prompt Guide](https://claude.ai/chat/a8a82c22-78cc-4c7b-8836-29dba28a90e3).

Once you've generated your avatar, select **Update** at the bottom of the page to apply your changes.

### Highlights

Highlights are a few details about you that your companion will keep in mind during every conversation. The more your companion knows about you, the more naturally they can talk and respond to you — your gender, what you look like, your interests, your job, or anything else you'd like remembered.

You can add or update your Highlights in the "Highlights" section of your Profile Settings. For the best results, keep them to one or two sentences. For example:

> *A 30-year-old graphic designer from London. Tall, brown-haired, dry sense of humor, prefers quiet nights in with a book and a glass of wine over a busy night out.*

### Chat Language

Chat language controls the language your companion speaks when responding to you. This is separate from your site language — site language changes the SecretMate interface, while chat language only affects how your companion replies in conversation.

You can set or change your chat language in the "Chat Language" section of your Profile Settings.

### Managing Your Subscription

You can manage your active subscription by selecting **Manage Subscription** on the Profile Settings page. For more information on what each plan includes, see our [Premium Subscriptions guide](https://claude.ai/chat/a8a82c22-78cc-4c7b-8836-29dba28a90e3).

### Deleting Your Account

You can delete your account by scrolling to the bottom of the Profile Settings page and selecting **Delete Account**. 

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Account deletion is permanent and can't be restored. However the same email can be used to register a new account.** 
{% endhint %}
