How it works
When you invite someone to help — whether it's with your own life, a family member you support, a child, or a client you work with — you pick what they need to do. Coach, therapist, teacher, babysitter, family member, advocate. We start them off with a sensible set of access for that role. You can change any of it before sending the invite, and you can change it later from the profile's "People with access" card.
The people who can see information on a profile fall into three groups:
- You and anyone in your workspace. If you share a family or team workspace with someone, everyone in it can see everything on the profiles you co-manage. That's the whole point of a workspace.
- People invited individually. A coach, therapist, teacher, advocate, or family friend invited to a single profile only sees the specific parts they were granted, nothing more.
- Nobody else. Specthrive doesn't sell or share your data. We don't use anyone's information to train models or target ads.
What there is to see
Each profile is organized into seven areas. When you invite someone, you choose which of these areas they can open.
- Plans
- Plans, goals, milestones, and tasks.
- Timeline
- The chronological story of your journey and life events.
- Trackers
- Trackers you set up and the entries logged against them.
- Documents
- Medical records, IEPs, insurance papers, assessments. Always sensitive. Never on by default.
- Calendar
- Scheduled tasks, appointments, and shareable calendar links.
- Activity feed
- A running log of recent updates on the profile.
- Messages
- Conversations with people on your team.
Where people start when you invite them
When you pick a role for the person you're inviting, we suggest a starting point. You can add or remove anything before you send the invite, and you can change it later.
| If they are a… | They start out able to see | And they can… |
|---|---|---|
| Coach | Plans, Trackers, Calendar, Activity feed | Can edit |
| Therapist / OT / SLP | Plans, Trackers, Timeline, Calendar, Activity feed | Can edit |
| Teacher | Trackers, Calendar, Activity feed | Read only |
| Babysitter / Extended family | Calendar, Activity feed | Read only |
| Other professional | Calendar, Activity feed | Read only |
| Custom | Nothing: you tick each one | Read only |
Notice that Documents and Messages never start out on. You always have to turn those on yourself.
The documents rule
How to invite someone
- 1. Open the profile you want to share.
- 2. Find the People with access card and click Invite someone.
- 3. Type their email and pick what kind of help they'll be (coach, therapist, teacher, babysitter, family member, other).
- 4. Review the areas they'll be able to see. Add or remove anything you want. Decide whether they can edit or just view.
- 5. Send the invite. They'll get an email that says exactly what they'll be able to see. No surprises.
How to check who can see what
From the profile, open People with access. Each row shows who they are, what they can see, and whether they can edit. Click any row to change it. From your account settings, the Privacy page also shows the same picture broken down by area: "Calendar: 4 people, Documents: 1 person."
How to remove access
From People with access, click a person and choose Remove access. The change happens immediately. The next time they try to open the profile, they won't be able to see anything on it.
If you've been given access to someone's profile and you no longer want it, open My access in your account settings and choose Leave this profile. You don't need to ask anyone's permission.
What we log
Every time someone with access opens information on a profile, we keep a log of what they looked at and when. We do this so that the people who manage that profile, and we, can answer the question "who saw this, and when?" if it ever comes up.
You can request that log at any time by emailing support@specthrive.com. We'll send it as a CSV. We don't hide this; we don't bury it; it's yours.
