Keep sensitive work confidential with private projects, meetings, todos, and notes. Control visibility at a granular level so that personal development plans, confidential initiatives, and private reflections stay between the people who need access.
What can be made private in Nestr?
Nestr supports privacy controls on individual projects, meetings, todos, and notes. A private item is visible only to the people explicitly given access. This enables a range of use cases: sensitive HR processes, board-level discussions, confidential partnerships, personal development plans, and any other work that should not be visible to the full circle or organisation.
How does privacy work alongside transparent governance?
Nestr is built on the principle of role-based transparency: all governance, roles, and accountabilities are visible by default. Privacy controls apply to operational work within roles, not to the roles themselves. This means your organisation's structure remains open while specific work items can be kept confidential where necessary.
Who controls access to private items?
The person who creates a private item controls who can access it. They can add specific collaborators, who will see the item in their workspace. Access can be updated at any time, keeping sensitive work within a defined group without requiring administrator involvement for every change.
