Will people still see my facebook If i deavtivated it?

If you deactivate your account:

-Your timeline disappears from the Facebook service immediately.
-People on Facebook will not be able to search for you. Some information, like messages you sent, may still be visible to others.
-We save your timeline information (friends, photos, interests, etc.), just in case you want to come back to Facebook at some point. If you choose to reactivate your account, the information on your timeline will be there when you come back.

A lot of people deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and expect their timelines to be there when they return to the service. This option gives you the flexibility to leave and come back whenever you want.
