# Screenshot privacy checklist

- [ ] Use a demo account or example data when possible.
- [ ] Crop out unrelated tabs, notifications, addresses and account menus.
- [ ] Review names, faces, email addresses, IDs, URLs and document titles.
- [ ] Review credentials, tokens, QR codes, terminal output and browser toolbars.
- [ ] Cover sensitive pixels with solid, opaque rectangles with a small margin.
- [ ] Export a new flattened PNG and reopen that exported file.
- [ ] Inspect the entire image at 100% and zoom into every covered region.
- [ ] Check extracted text, OCR output and text pasted into the message separately from the image.
- [ ] Give the file a neutral name without personal data or secrets.
- [ ] Send only the checked export to the intended recipients.
- [ ] If using a hosted link, check its recipient view, password and expiry.
- [ ] Revoke access when the review is complete. Copies already downloaded remain copies.
