Private Events in Google & Outlook Calendars:
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.
