People in room

If someone you're chatting with sends you PIR, it means there are other people in the room with them. Those people might be able to read your conversation, so you should be careful about what you send.

If you have something confidential (or otherwise inappropriate) that you want to discuss, ask the person you're chatting with to give you a heads-up when those in the room with them leave. Or, save that topic for your next conversation, when there hopefully won't be others around.
