enhance privacy

    • If an individual event is marked as private in the third-party calendar (Google/Outlook), it will be automatically hidden in the platform by default, regardless of whether the "Hide Events" toggle is enabled.

    • If the "Hide Events" toggle is turned on, all synced events (including private and public) will appear as 'Busy' instead of showing event details.
