Are individual family member vaults really private?

If I understand it correctly, the "Family Organizer" can give himself access to each family member's vault and stored data. So, no one (other than the organizer) can be really assured of privacy. Am I missing something?

    @kdeemer: That's incorrect. Each person with a 1Password.com account, whether they be part of a family, team, etc. or not, has their own Master Password and Secret Key which are needed to decrypt the data in their Personal/Private vault. No one else can ever access this.

    I think what you're thinking of is that, as an admin (family Organizer, etc.), you can set permissions for shared vaults. So you could grant yourself permission to one of those within the family, even if you did not originally have access.

    I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)
