Photos, documents, and metadata can reveal information even when a profile is protected.
Give each relative the access they need, not more.
Help us keep the documentation accurate. If something is missing, send the context and the section you were using.

Invite members, assign roles, and connect an account with a family profile when appropriate.
Upload private files, preserve context, tag people, and connect evidence with profiles or events.
