Claude is great with details. But some details should stay with you.

Stay smart: what not to share.

Three things never go in a chat. Passwords and PINs. Social Security and card numbers. And other people's private business.

Sharing a bill or a letter? Cover up the account numbers first. Claude can still explain it.

And watch out for scams. If anyone asks for your password, even if they say they're AI support, it's a scam.

Not sure if something's private? Ask Claude what you should cover up before you share.

Share smart, and you'll get all the help with none of the worry.

Your turn. Before you share your next document, ask Claude what to cover up.

That's sharing smart. See you in the next one!
