# Visibility and Privacy

> Set default visibility rules for feedback, meetings, and reviews

# Visibility and Privacy

Visibility settings control who can see feedback, meetings, reviews, and other data.

## Feedback visibility

**Default visibility options:**

* Private to recipient
* Shared with manager
* Public

Admins can set organization-wide defaults.

## Meeting visibility

**One-on-ones:**
Typically visible to both participants and the manager's manager (skip-level)

**Team meetings:**
Visible to all participants

**Private notes:**
Private meeting notes are visible only to the person who wrote them. Organization admins can see a list of organization-level private notes under Organization Settings for governance purposes, but cannot read individual note content. Private notes are included in the author's event alerts so reminders and notifications stay complete.

## Review visibility

**Self-reviews:**
Visible to the employee and their manager

**Manager reviews:**
Visible to the employee, manager, and HR/People team

**Peer feedback:**
May be anonymized or attributed depending on settings

## Survey anonymity

Admins configure whether survey responses are:

* Anonymous (no attribution)
* Named (attributed to individuals)

## Best practices

* Default to private for constructive feedback
* Ensure survey anonymity to encourage honesty
* Balance transparency with psychological safety
