Free/Busy and Calendar Privacy: What Meetris Can and Cannot See

Connecting a calendar can sound more revealing than it is. People reasonably want to know whether an organizer will see meeting titles, private appointments or who else is invited.

For scheduling, Meetris is built around a simpler signal: when you are free and when you are busy.

What free/busy means

Free/busy information can show that 2:00 to 3:00 PM is unavailable without revealing why. That is enough to prevent Meetris from recommending or displaying that time.

Scheduling requires knowledge of availability, not knowledge of the activity that created the conflict.

What the organizer does not see

When an invitee connects a calendar, the organizer does not see:

• event titles or meeting subjects;
• event descriptions or calendar notes;
• guest lists;
• private appointment details; or
• the reason someone is unavailable.

The organizer sees the availability needed to coordinate the meeting, not a copy of the participant’s calendar.

The same privacy principle across Meetris

For a one-time 1:1 request, calendar connection filters the organizer’s available slots to the times when the invitee is also free.

For a group meeting, free/busy availability helps Meetris find the overlap across all required participants.

For a reusable booking link, Meetris first checks the owner’s selected calendars. If the visitor connects a calendar, it filters those times against the visitor’s availability too.

Calendar connection is optional for 1:1 requests, group requests and booking-link visitors. A visitor can always choose an offered slot without connecting.

What happens after a time is selected

Once a meeting is confirmed, Meetris creates the calendar invitation using the information supplied for that meeting: its title, time, participants, location, video link and any notes the organizer included.

Creating that new event is different from reading the private contents of unrelated events already in the calendar.

The Clear My Day exception

Clear My Day is designed to help a user reorganize their own day. To show which of that user’s meetings might move, it needs access to the user’s own event information. This does not change what an external participant shares when responding to an ordinary scheduling request or booking link.

Only when, never what

People respond more confidently when the boundary is clear. Free/busy gives Meetris the signal needed to find a time while keeping the substance of each calendar private.

Connect your calendar when it helps, choose times manually when it does not. You remain in control.
