Hello there!
I am intrigued by `spaces` but I am wondering if I can create an app that is only accessible to me (and not to Huggingface’s staff for instance) and to others with a password. Is this level of privacy possible?
Thanks!

You can create a private space. Private spaces are visible to only you (personal space) or members of your organization (organization space) as per HF.
Maybe they are visible to HF staff too, I am not sure about it.
If you don’t want to create space on HF, you can do it on [gradio.app](https://gradio.app/) or [streamlit.io](https://streamlit.io/)

```auto
import os
import gradio as gr
read_key = os.environ.get('HF_TOKEN', None)
import gradio as gr
demo = gr.load("username/spacename", hf_token=read_key, src="spaces")
demo.launch()
```
Dont forget to define the HF\_TOKEN in tokens section of settings
