--
--* **Example 1: Confidential information**
--You can now contact the HR department via chat and submit a photo or scanned document of your sick note. Therefore, you create a chat with the public circle "Personnel office". You get in contact with the "Personnel office" circle without inviting all other employees of the organisation.

--* **Example 2: Emergency alert**
--In the event of a workplace accident, you have to call a predefined group of contacts via the emergency alert feature. Therefore, you have set the public circle "First aider" in your App settings as the [[Default circle>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Profile.WebHome||anchor="05-sosgroup"]].
