Step 1 of 5: State the task without secrets
Write the practical job, such as drafting a polite reply or explaining a term. Leave out passwords, PINs, security codes, recovery codes and full payment-card details. A useful example rarely needs a real account secret.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 5: Replace identifying details
Use invented names and example addresses instead of real contact details, identification numbers or account references. Removing a name alone may not anonymise a story if dates, locations and other details still identify someone.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 5: Inspect attached material
Read pasted text and look through each page or image. Check document headers, background details, messages and signatures. Do not upload private workplace, client or family material without the right authority and an appropriate service.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 5: Check the service’s controls
Read the tool’s current privacy and data-handling information. Retention, training and sharing settings differ by account and service. A familiar brand or private-looking chat does not establish how submitted data is handled.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 5: Submit only what is necessary
Give the smallest amount of information that lets the tool perform the task. Review its response before using it. If you accidentally disclosed a secret, use that account’s genuine security process to replace or revoke it; deleting a chat is not a substitute.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.

A common question.
Can I paste a bank or medical letter for a summary?
Use an example or remove identifying and sensitive details first. For sensitive documents, choose an authorised service with data handling suitable for that task.
