The sub-profile feature of LINE (hereinafter referred to as “this service”) is provided for LINE Premium members. You cannot utilize this service unless you agree to the following terms.


  2. 1. If misuse of this service (such as fraud, impersonation, etc.) is reported by other users and results in disciplinary action, the use of your LINE account may be restricted.

  4. 2. Regarding main profiles / sub-profiles
    1. The main profile is the “existing profile information” that a user can set up when creating a LINE account. The sub-profile is “additional profile information” (such as image, display name, etc.) that can be created through this service and set to be displayed to specific users.
    • Information related to this service, including the main profile, sub-profile (including any previously set sub-profiles), and the relationships between these profiles, will be accessible to third parties as public information. It is not possible to set a specific profile (main or sub-profile) to display for a specific user. Please ensure that you have acknowledged and fully this aspect before using the service.
    • The sub-profile can be used in services that utilize LINE’s Friend relationships (not limited to services provided by LINE). For details on available services, please refer to “3. Details on Services Available for Sub-profile Usage.”
    • Your main profile information may still be visible to other users for whom you have set a sub-profile.

      • In various messages where profile is displayed in chat rooms (e.g., messages sent from a company’s official LINE account, such as restaurant reservation confirmation messages or messages showing scores shared by Friends in LINE GAME, the main profile and sub-profile set before any changes may be displayed. As a result, a profile different from the one you have set for your Friends may be shown to them.

      • There is a possibility that official LINE accounts may acquire/store sub-profile information through group chats and other means.

      • If an official LINE account is included in a group chat, there is a possibility that the official LINE account may communicate or respond using the sub-profile name for users who have their main profile set, or communicate or respond using the main profile name for users who have their sub-profile set.
      • If profile information is granted permission for a linked app, the main profile will be provided to the service provider.
      • If a linked app requests Friend or group information, your sub-profile will be provided to the service provider without your consent if a Friend who has set up a sub-profile uses that app. This can be controlled in the 「 LINE app settings > Privacy Management > Information Access from Apps. 」
      • If a linked app requests Friend or group information, the service provider can identify your main profile and the sub-profile simultaneously as well as understand the relationships regarding which profile is displayed to which Friends.
      • If a counterpart with a sub-profile is using LINE app version 14.19.0 or lower, or if a group has not set a group name and has enabled "Do not automatically add Friends to the group" in group chat settings, the main profile name may be displayed as the group name.

      • Your profile name displayed in a notification (such as a note creation notification) that has been sent once will not be updated even if it is changed afterward.
      • When a notification is sent to the other party upon adding a Friend, it will be sent with the main profile.

    • If the member does not change their registered phone number to one from an applicable country within the grace period, their LINE Premium membership will be canceled, and the sub-profile information stored by the company will be deleted (the member will not be able to edit sub-profile information or set Friends). 
    • If the member restores their registered phone number to one from an applicable country within the grace period, the sub-profile information will be retained.
