Sample Audit Logs
🚧 Full Audit System Coming Q1 2026
These are sample logs showing how our transparency system will work once fully implemented.
What are audit logs?
Audit logs are detailed records of every time platform administrators access tenant data. They provide complete transparency about when, why, and what data was accessed, ensuring accountability and building trust.
Note: When implemented, you'll be able to view all audit logs for your own family portal in real-time through your admin settings.
