You can share the links with other people to give them access to your dynamic chart. They can be used in emails, social media posts and messages (e.g. Facebook and Twitter) or shared or displayed in any way you choose.
What can I do with the supplied HTML?
You can use the HTML to embed your dynamic chart into any website.
Can I share a chart by email?

Can I use a chart on my website or blog?
Yes - you can copy the supplied HTML to add a dynamic chart to your website or blog. If you do not have access to HTML, you can use the link or upload a copy of the image.
What about my privacy?
No chart will contain any identifying information like your name or the names of companies you worked at, unless you include such information when naming your skills. Each chart is assigned a unique ID that differs by chart type, so sharing one of your charts will not allow people to view your other charts (unless you share those ID's too).
