Privacy basics for SummerCan share links
Treat SummerCan share links like private bearer links: useful for schedule access, but not something to post publicly.
The problem
anyone with a valid shared-plan link can view the shared schedule surface. For families sharing finished schedules with trusted people, that means the hard part is not just finding camps; it is preserving the decisions that make the final family schedule trustworthy.
How SummerCan helps
SummerCan separates owner account data from shared schedule access and documents share links as bearer links. SummerCan is a planning tool: it helps organize discovery, comparison, review, and schedule output while leaving final provider confirmation with the family.
How it works
- Start with setup: children, date window, location/source choices, and unavailable blocks.
- Use discovery to open a chooser-ready set of camp groups and dated sessions.
- Choose and review camp interests before the schedule builder runs.
- Use the final schedule, share link, provider links, and calendar output as the handoff for real-world follow-through.
