Data and connections
Dashboards refresh when you open a page or tap Sync. Connected platforms pull recent posts and metrics on each sync. Date range filters on Overview and Posts control which period you see.
We request read-only access to analytics and posts for the accounts you authorise. We do not post on your behalf. You can disconnect any platform from Settings → Organisation → Connections.
Account and analytics data are stored securely for your organisation workspace. Only members you invite can view your dashboard. See our Privacy Policy for retention and deletion details.
Teams
Yes. One organisation, shared connections, role-based access. Connect accounts once and everyone on the team sees the same live data. Seat limits depend on your plan. Add members from Settings → Organisation → Team.
Each Periscope organisation is one workspace with one set of connections. Agencies typically use one workspace per client brand. Contact us if you need help structuring access for your team.
