Setting up your profile
Profile setup runs once after you sign up. Only your date of birth and location are required; everything else is optional and can be skipped or changed later from Profile → Edit profile. The optional steps (islands, interests, music, event attendance, socials, referral) shape what Home recommends.

How do I change my profile later?
- Photo, name, bio, location, interests: Profile tab → Edit profile.
- Username: Settings → Account → Username.
- Language and appearance (light, dark, system): Settings → Appearance and the language picker.
- Privacy, blocked accounts and security: Settings → Privacy, Blocked accounts, Security. Biometric unlock can be turned on under Security.
- Export or delete your data: Settings → Account → Export data / Delete account. Export prepares a download of your data (the link lasts 7 days). Deletion switches your account off at once and becomes permanent after a 30-day recovery window; sign back in within those 30 days to cancel it.
Managed on the website for now
Changing your password and managing two-factor authentication are done at tiketcaribbean.com/settings. The app links you there.
What are badges?
Badges recognise things you do on TiketCaribbean, starting with the ISLANDER badge every member earns on signing up. Open Profile → Badges to see what you have earned. Organiser badges (Verified, Founding Organiser and the levelled organiser badge) are different and are explained in Organiser badges.
