+As implied by adding a new `receiptType`, `m.read.private` receipts are echoed
+back to clients through [`m.receipt`](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/client-server-api/#mreceipt).
+The structure is the same as `m.read`. For example:

+Due to the nature of private read receipts, the `m.read.private` map in `m.receipt`
+should only ever have the user's own ID.

 ## Security considerations
 
 Servers could act as if `m.read.private` is the same as `m.read` so the user
