We’ve added a 

Private Mode for synced events

, allowing users to keep their third-party calendar details 

confidential

. When this setting is enabled, only the user who connected the calendar will be able to view the event details, ensuring that others cannot see them in the platform. This feature is designed to 

enhance privacy

 and 

prevent unauthorized access

to your third-party calendar events.

Important Notes:

  1. Supported Calendars: This feature applies only to Google and Outlook calendars. iCloud does not support private/public event settings, meaning all iCloud events will be visible to all users.

  2. Private Events in Google & Outlook Calendars:

    • If an individual event is marked as private in the third-party calendar (Google/Outlook), it will be automatically hidden in the platform by default, regardless of whether the “Hide Events” toggle is enabled.

    • If the “Hide Events” toggle is turned on, all synced events (including private and public) will appear as ‘Busy’ instead of showing event details.
