Privacy Features

Privacy is fundamental to how SkipUp works. The assistant is designed to coordinate meetings without exposing your calendar or preferences to others.

Key privacy principles

Your calendar stays private

The assistant never reveals your calendar contents to external parties. When coordinating with someone outside your organization:

• They don’t see your busy times
• They don’t see your meeting titles
• They don’t see when you’re free

Instead, the assistant suggests reasonable business hours and asks for their availability.

Blind calendar mode

For external participants (people without SkipUp accounts), the assistant operates in “blind calendar” mode:

• Suggests times that work for you without showing your schedule
• Proposes reasonable business hours in their timezone
• Collects their availability through normal email replies

This protects your calendar while still enabling efficient scheduling.

Preferences are private

Your scheduling preferences (working hours, timezone rules, balance settings) are visible only to you:

• Other participants cannot see your preference settings
• Only you can inquire about your own preferences via support
• The assistant applies your preferences without disclosing them

Private messaging

When you need confidential communication with the assistant:

• Add a note like “Don’t share this with others”
• The assistant respects private instructions
• Confidential context stays between you and the assistant

Calendar access

The assistant only accesses calendars you’ve explicitly connected:

• Opt-in only — Connect calendars in workspace settings
• Selective access — Choose which calendars to share
• Revocable — Disconnect anytime from settings

The assistant cannot see:

• Calendars you haven’t connected
• Private events marked as private
• Other people’s calendars (unless they’ve connected their own)

Meeting details

Once a meeting is booked, participants see standard calendar event information:

• Event title
• Date and time
• Location or video link
• Description/agenda
• Attendee list

This is normal calendar behavior—what they see is the event itself, not your underlying calendar.
