You can control the personal data that you share with other people and organisations within the SQUIZZ.com platform through the use of Data Sharing Policies. Each data sharing policy controls which pieces of your personal data you are allowing to be seen by others. Data sharing policies are then assigned to each of your contact and organisation groups. All contacts or organisations within a group will then be able see your personal data based on the data sharing policy assigned to the group. By assigning a data sharing policy to one or more groups it allows the same set of permissions to cover a range of similar people and organisations without having to set permissions on a one-by-one basis.

When you first sign up to the SQUIZZ.com platform a number of data sharing policies are already created for you. These initial data sharing policies are assigned to your contact and organisation groups to make it easier for you to get started using the platform. You may wish to change or alter these initial 

Default (Public) Data Sharing Policy

One data sharing policy must be assigned as the default. The default data sharing policy will be used when a person or organisation is not assigned to any of your contact or organisation groups. This could occur because the person viewing your personal data is not connected with you yet. We would recommend that the default data sharing policy only shares limited information about yourself since this policy controls the personal data that you are giving out to the general public. You cannot delete a sharing policy that set as the default.

• Share Personal Email
