Your EarthCoop profile is more than a name and avatar — it drives how the platform places you in cooperative groups, matches you with relevant projects, and personalises your experience. Keeping your profile complete and current ensures you are automatically connected to the right communities at the right geographic level.

​
Accessing your profile settings

1

Open your profile

Click your avatar or name in the top navigation bar and select Profile from the dropdown menu, or navigate to /profile directly.
2

Go to Edit

On your profile page, click the Edit Profile button to open the editable settings form.
3

Save your changes

After updating any section, scroll to the bottom of that section and click Save. Each section (personal info, professional info, location, etc.) saves independently.

​
Personal information

The personal information section covers your basic identity details.
Your name must be entered using Persian (Farsi) characters only. The form validates this automatically and rejects entries that contain Latin characters or numbers.

​
Privacy toggles

Each personal information field has a visibility toggle that controls whether other members can see it on your public profile. You can independently show or hide your name, email address, phone number, date of birth, gender, national ID, biography, documents, social networks, groups list, and join date.

​
Professional information

The professional section determines which occupational and experience-based cooperative groups you belong to. These groups are organised into a hierarchy — selecting a specialty automatically adds you to the corresponding groups at your current geographic level all the way up to the global level.
1

Select occupational fields

Choose one or more fields from the Occupational Fields selector. These represent your trade, industry, or professional sector. Subcategories are available for each top-level field.
2

Select experience fields

Choose one or more fields from the Experience Fields selector. These represent areas of practical expertise that may differ from your formal occupation.
3

Save

Click Save to apply changes. The platform immediately updates your group memberships — adding you to groups for newly selected fields and removing you from groups for deselected fields.
Removing an occupational or experience field also removes you from all associated cooperative groups at every geographic level. Rejoin those groups manually if you remove a field by mistake.

​
Location

Your location determines which geographically scoped cooperative groups you belong to. EarthCoop uses a hierarchical location model with the following levels: Your current location level is shown on your profile. To update your location:
1

Open Edit Profile

Navigate to your profile and click Edit Profile.
2

Update your address

Use the cascading address selectors to choose your continent, country, province, county, district, city or rural district, region, neighborhood, street, and alley.
3

Save

Click Save Location. The platform removes you from groups tied to your old address and adds you to groups at the equivalent levels for your new address. All previous votes in location-based groups are also cleared automatically.
Your address is used solely for group assignment. It is not displayed on your public profile unless you choose to make it visible.

​
Language preference

EarthCoop supports English and Persian (Farsi). To switch languages:
  1. Go to Edit Profile.
  2. Find the Language selector in the preferences section.
  3. Choose English or Persian.
  4. Save. The interface updates immediately.
If you prefer the Persian calendar, set your Calendar preference to Jalali. This changes all date fields and timestamps across the platform from the Gregorian calendar to the Solar Hijri (Jalali) calendar.

​
Profile completeness

A complete profile unlocks better group matching and participation features. The platform tracks completion across five areas: identity verification, professional fields, location, experience fields, and social information. When you complete a milestone, the system awards profile completion points to your account. To see your current profile completeness level, check the progress indicator at the top of your Edit Profile page. Each incomplete section is highlighted with a prompt explaining what to fill in.
