Lesson 7 of 88 min

Privacy, Copyright and Sensitive Data

Learning goal: Decide what data is safe to upload — and what stays private.

Lesson

Before uploading, check permission, confidentiality, necessity, retention and training settings. Avoid passwords, API keys, payment details, medical records and confidential documents outside approved workflows. Minimize and anonymize data. Generated work is not automatically exclusive or commercially risk-free; review provider terms and important output before publication.

Example

Analyze an approved anonymized sample, not a full customer database.

Common mistake

Assuming chat deletion instantly removes every copy.

Exercise

Classify a document and create a reduced safe version.

Commands to try

Curated workflow shortcuts from the Academy library — not necessarily native Claude commands.
