Permissions in the Service
What permissions mean
Some functions may ask for limited access, for example:

- generating and sharing a Johari Window link
We request only the minimum access needed for a feature to work.
How to control permissions
Permissions can be managed in your browser at any time. Turning off a permission may disable a specific feature, but the rest of the service will still work.
Sharing and Third Parties
When sharing may happen
We may use trusted providers for hosting, email delivery, or analytics. They process data only on our behalf and must protect it. Personal data is never sold.
Links to external sites
The service may link to other websites. Their own privacy rules apply when you visit them.
