# Privacy

The Privacy mode allows teams to make their Squad visible only to its members. This means that even with the link to a Squad, non-members cannot view its details.

If activated, the only way for someone to view the details of a Squad is to be a member and sign a message to verify their wallet. 

{% hint style="info" %}
To ensure that members don't have to re-sign frequently, a session token is stored in the user's browser for 24 hours. If a member switches to another device, they must sign the message again to store a new session token on this second device.
{% endhint %}

To activate the Privacy mode for a Squad:

1. Navigate to the Settings page;
2. Toggle the "Privacy" button;
3. Your Squad will now be viewable only by its members.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Your on-chain activity will still be visible on explorers. The privacy mode only prevents unauthorized viewing of a Squad's assets through the UI. 

This feature will turn off automatically if the subscription has expired.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.squads.so/main/navigating-your-squad/settings/privacy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
