Specialist asks: What does Empatyzer's privacy mode mean and how does it affect others?

Privacy mode in Empatyzer lets you control whether other users and the system can see or use your profile in advice and reports. With full privacy enabled, you can still view other people’s profiles, but your profile is hidden from them and they cannot select you when asking for guidance. Em will not produce personalized "about me" advice for others based on your data. Your answers and chats with Em remain private and are not shared with HR or managers; the conversation content stays within the system. At the company-aggregate level your data does not disappear immediately: when privacy is on, your point is blended with others so you become hard to identify. Deleting your account removes you entirely from aggregates and the system. Giving consent to comparisons does the opposite: it lets others ask how to talk with you and receive tailored tips that take your settings into account. The default visibility setting makes diads easier and gives fuller, more accurate advice from Em, so it is recommended in most organisations. Full privacy protects individuality and can be justified in particular cases, but it reduces the accuracy of relationship advice and lowers the usefulness of micro-lessons built around specific colleagues. Settings are reversible, so you can experiment: it’s often sensible to start visible and switch to private later if you need to. HR and leadership do not get access to raw individual scores; they only see aggregated data where private people are blurred. Privacy mode does not cut you off from features — you can still use Em chat, micro-lessons and observe the team, but guidance about how others should talk to you will be limited. In practice the choice mainly affects how visible you are to colleagues and how useful relationship advice is. If privacy is important to you, Empatyzer gives control, but consider the trade-off between security and the benefits of better collaboration.

In short: in privacy mode you see others, others don't see you, there are no "about me" tips for others, and in reports your contribution is blended, protecting privacy at the expense of precise advice and analysis.
