Yes. In order to get into a session you need an access code that can only be provided by the host. The host has full visibility on who is in the meeting and can lock the meeting to prevent more guests from joining, and can selectively disconnect existing guests. Guests only see what you show them and cannot access any files or information on your computer without your knowledge. GatherPlace servers run the latest Unix technology and is hosted in secure, guarded facilities with backup power. GatherPlace is also part of the Hacker-Safe program that ensures your safety.

Yes. You can host sessions from as many computers as you want with your Account as long as you use one computer at a time.

An Individual Account is for one person to host one meeting at a time using a single login account from any PC or Mac. Shared Accounts allow you to create an unlimited number of login accounts (sub-accounts) for others to share so that each person can host their own sessions. However, under your Shared Account license agreement only one person is allowed to host a session at a time. If you would like the sub-account users to be able to host sessions at the same time you need to purchase additional Shared Accounts. The number of Shared Accounts purchased will equal the number of sessions that are allowed to take place at the same time. Both Individual and Shared Accounts give users the ability to run reports on their sessions.

It comes down to three considerations: the number of sessions you need to host at the same time, management of the account(s), and money. If you and your colleague don't need to host sessions at the same time, one Shared Account will work nicely as long as you agree to let one user manage the account. If you need to conduct sessions at the same time, you have two options: 1) purchase more than one Individual Account so that each of you can manage your own accounts; or 2) purchase more than one Shared Account so that all of the sub-accounts can be managed by one Master account holder.
