# Making some information on your address card private

You can select which information on your card you want to share with your contacts when you send them your vCard. For example, you can share just your work information, and keep your home information private.

1. Open Address Book > Preferences and click vCard.
2. Select Enable Private 'Me' Card and close the preferences window.
3. Select your card in the Name column and click Edit.
4. Select only the checkboxes next to the information you want to share.

In the vCard preferences pane, select "Export Notes in vCards" to send the contents of the Note field. By default this option is not selected, and the contents of the Note field are not sent.

If another application won't accept vCards in the default 3.0 format, try changing the format to 2.1 in the vCard preferences pane, and send it again.
