Privacy: review spaces, audiences and traces

Describe what you share

Examine content, profile, links, location, time and mentioned people. Define the intended audience before format. A private post does not promise recipients will not copy it. Separate public distribution and group-only details rather than rely on one general setting.

Check the actual context

Consult documentation for the actual space: personal conversation, channel, room, activity or video. Test a non-sensitive post with an authorised person. Correct older posts where possible and note limits involving external copies. An “open” label describes technical organisation, not a privacy guarantee.
