# API: Shared background

| Method | Path | What it does | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET | `/v1/me/background` | Your own background (schools, past employers, programs, city) and which parts you let drafts and signals use. Private to you. (web app only) | `prospecting:read` |
| PUT | `/v1/me/background` | Change your background and opt-ins (turning an attribute off removes its matches) (web app only) | `prospecting:read` |
| POST | `/v1/me/background/match` | Queue a look for shared background with contacts at accounts that fit the ICP (it runs in the worker and can use a paid provider) (web app only) | `prospecting:write` |
