Not really. Anyone who has an account can see profile. It's been a go-to for journalists for a long time.

  You can set your profile to only be viewable to connections or second degree connections

    You can also "hibernate" your account to disable it completely until you log in again. I just did this; my go-forward strategy will be to resurface and collect connections anytime I switch jobs, then hibernate it again when I no longer need it. That way it can serve its only real function of being a face for my job applications, and can be made invisible all other times.
