Sharing with parents and counselors

Default: nothing. You decide what (if anything) gets shared.

Nothing

Parents and counselors see nothing. Not your Profile, not your essays, not your progress, not even that you have an account. This is the default.

Weekly summary

A weekly email: number of essays in progress, schools added, completion %. Never essay content. Never memories. Aggregate progress only.

Full visibility

They can read every essay you're writing. Iris will warn you before any draft is shared. Iris-only memories still stay private. We discourage this — the product works better with privacy.

🛡️ Guardrails that hold no matter what

🔒 Iris-only memories are never shared, even at "Full visibility." They're between you and Iris.
Crisis content is automatically Iris-only and never shared. Privacy holds even there.
Admissions readers see ONLY the essays you submit through Common App / school portals — never anything else, regardless of these settings.
You can change levels any time. Lowering a level retroactively hides what was previously visible.
You can revoke an invitee in one tap. They lose access immediately.
