# Change household account visibility

> Set each Miyo account to Private, Shared, or Hidden, preview what your household partner can see, and review visibility changes before sharing.

Miyo applies household visibility per account. Open **Privacy Center** to review every account before relying on a shared dashboard or report.

## Choose a visibility state

| State       | You can see it             | Your partner can see it                | Included in your dashboard and reports |
| ----------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Private** | Yes                        | No                                     | Yes                                    |
| **Shared**  | Yes                        | Yes, including shared account activity | Yes                                    |
| **Hidden**  | No in normal finance views | No                                     | No                                     |

<Warning>
  **Hidden** is broader than **Private**. Hidden accounts are excluded from your own normal dashboard totals and reports as well as household views.
</Warning>

## Change an account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Privacy Center">
    Open **Privacy Center** and review the Shared, Private, and Hidden counts at the top.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the account">
    Confirm the account name, institution, type, and balance so you do not change a similarly named account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the new state">
    Select **Private**, **Shared**, or **Hidden**, then confirm the change if Miyo asks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview the partner view">
    Use the partner-view preview to check what the new household view will reveal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the audit log">
    The **Privacy audit log** records visibility changes so you can see which account changed and when.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Goals and debt use separate sharing rules

* A personal savings goal stays yours.
* **Share with Partner** lets a partner see a goal's progress.
* A joint goal lets both partners contribute.
* Shared debt can reveal payment timing for coordination while keeping APR and payoff strategy private.

<Note>
  Account visibility controls do not change ownership at the financial institution and do not grant transaction or money-movement authority.
