Guide
Private Space lives in Personal sidebar section. The Private Space section is visible to you only and hidden even from admins. You can put Documents, Whiteboards, and Views here and do whatever you want with them.
It is not possible to create private Databases
Here are several useful cases:
Start and store unfinished documents in Private Space section and move them into some public space later when you are ready to share them.
Create several Views that you need and don’t touch other parts of the sidebar at all.
Experiment with Views safely.

FAQ
Can I create my own personal databases?
No. We are collecting feedback to decide whether it should be implemented. Please share your case with us (click Help & Support in the bottom right and Human Support)
What if I mention someone in a Document in Private Space?
In this case, this person will not receive any notification since your space is private.
What if I delete some entity from a Table/Board/… View in Private Space?
It will be deleted everywhere. A View is just a window to the database, and by deleting an entity via a view, you are deleting it from its database.
