Privacy first: Cookie banners and easier account deletion
Let’s be honest: privacy policies and data regulations aren't exactly "fun" reading. But knowing exactly who has your data—and having the power to take it back—is a big deal. We’ve made some updates to give you total control over your digital footprint without any of the usual headaches.
Here is what’s new in your settings:
-
The "Delete My Account" button: If you ever decide to move on, we won’t make you jump through hoops or email a support team. You can now trigger a full account deletion directly from your settings. We’ll wipe all your data within 30 days, no questions asked.
-
GDPR & CCPA Compliance: We’ve refreshed our Privacy Policy to be clearer and simpler. We’ve aligned everything with global standards so there are zero surprises about what we collect (which is as little as possible).
We're sad to see anyone go, but we believe leaving a service should be just as easy as joining one. Stay safe out there!
Scenario Planning for Business 📊
Plan Your Next Move with Scenario Planning
Ever had a great idea for a team reorganization but felt too nervous to touch the actual org chart? We’ve all been there. The fear of accidentally moving a manager or deleting a department in "real life" is enough to make anyone stick to messy spreadsheets or scratchpads.
That’s why we’ve built Scenario Planning for our Business plan users. Think of it as a private sandbox where you can dream up your future team structure without making it official. No alerts, no mistakes, and no pressure.
Here’s what you can do in your new practice space:
-
Draft changes in private: Move people around and create new roles in a safe draft that only you (and whoever you invite) can see.
-
Track your headcount: Instantly see how your hiring plans will change your team size, making it easy to spot where you're growing too fast or where you need more help.
-
Make it official when you’re ready: Once your plan looks perfect and the budget is cleared, you can apply your changes to the live org chart with one click.

Stealth Mode: Hide Names for Cleaner Views & Exports 🕵️♂️
Whether you’re sharing an org chart in a public presentation or sending a PDF to a potential hire, we know that sometimes you want to show the "who goes where" without showing the "who."
Today, we’re introducing a new Hide Names toggle. Now you can keep your team’s sensitive data private while still highlighting your company’s impressive structure.
How it works:
-
One-click privacy: You’ll find the new toggle inside the View menu. Switch it on, and names will instantly be replaced with generic icons or empty strings depending on your view.
-
Settings that stick: This isn't just a temporary filter. The setting is saved per-chart, so when you come back tomorrow, your names will stay hidden.
-
Ready for export: Your exports (PNG and PDF) will respect this setting, making it perfect for creating anonymous templates or public-facing documents.
What exactly changes?
-
Tree, Compact, and Table Views: Names are swapped out for clean, generic placeholders.
-
What stays put: To keep your charts useful, we’ve kept Job Titles, Department colors, employment badges, and your overall reporting structure visible.
Go ahead and give it a spin in the View menu! It’s the easiest way to share the big picture without oversharing the details.
