Private and shared

Share what your company needs. Keep the rest private.

Every person has their own contacts. Some they share with the company, and the rest stay private. When someone leaves, the shared contacts stay with the company and the private ones go with them.

When someone leaves

Shared contacts stay. Private contacts go with them.

Maya has her own contacts. Three she shared with Northwind, so the whole team can find them. Three she kept private, so only she can see them. Flip the switch to see her leave: the shared contacts stay in the directory, marked as added by a former member, and the private ones go with her. Northwind never saw them.

What the company gets

You see exactly what you share.

Sharing a contact shows what goes to the directory: name, email, phone, company and job title. Your private notes and tags stay private unless you check the boxes.

By default, an admin reviews each new contact before the team sees it. You can withdraw a share while it's still waiting.
