Content Privacy

Important

Content that you share in Simpler.Grants.gov communications channels is never fully private. Administrators can view all of the content shared in each channel, and the content in these channels is subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

There are a few important considerations regarding the privacy of content that is shared in any of the channels listed above:

• Admins can view all messages: Administrators of each channel can view and delete or modify content shared within that channel. This includes channels with the semblance of privacy, such as direct messages within Slack.

• Content is subject to FOIA: All content shared in these channels is also subject to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. That may include content categorized as "internal," pending FOIA request approval. This further underscores the importance of never sharing sensitive or prohibited information in these changes.
