We store only the required data for the functioning of the app and store it using robust encryption algorithms. You are safe with us. Q: Can I use Channel Tools to invite external users? A: Yes, but with limited support. You can invite users from a channel shared with a different workspace in the same organization (enterprise grid plan).
