Short answer
Do not upload anything that would harm you if stored, copied, shared, or seen by the wrong person.
Do not upload these
Avoid passwords, tax documents, bank statements, full medical records, ID cards, passports, private contracts, legal letters, children’s private details, and confidential work files.
Safer alternative
Copy only the sentence you do not understand, remove names and numbers, or describe the situation in general words.
Try this prompt
“I want to understand a document without sharing private details. Ask me safe questions one at a time.”
Common mistake
A screenshot can contain more private information than you notice: tabs, usernames, account numbers, addresses, and QR codes.
Safety note
When in doubt, treat uploads as less private than a file stored only on your own computer.
What to do next
Make a clean copy with private details removed before asking AI for help.
