How to Create an Account

Anyone can view Visible Community, but you can only post and respond if you create an account and sign in.

Creating an account is easy! You’ll need to create a username (don’t use your email), password, and email. 

Your Visible Community account will be separate from your Visible wireless account. For security reasons, it is recommended to use a different password.

Additionally, your email must be verified. If you are unable to do this with the link that was emailed to you, please email your username and a brief message  to community@visible.com with the subject line "Community Email Verification". You must send this message from the email address associated with your Community account.

Get started here.

As a Data Processor/service provider, Khoros is only permitted to follow the instructions of the Data Controller/business (Visible). So, availability of a feature to the end-user will be dependent on the Data Controller/business (Visible) enabling it. Visible has this functionality enabled for all its members. 

Note: The data that is deleted when closing an account is only the PII of the Member, while the members’ contributions (ex: posts, comments, kudos, etc.) will be maintained as and associated with an Anonymous username. The close account will trigger a downstream handling to purge the PII data at the Khoros Community Analytics level as well.

Moderators, Admins, and Social Media Agents are trained to advise members of the Community to send a personal message to the moderation / admin team for assistance in closing their account upon their request.
