Finish and share it safely

Step 1 of 6

The last step

You made something. Now let's finish it.

You built your thing. You checked it. You fixed it. Nice work.

Today is the last step. You share it safely, then you stop.

First, name who this is for. Most things are not for the whole world.

One simple rule keeps you safe. Leave out anything private. When in doubt, leave it out.

If it touches money or account details, do not send it. Ask a real person you trust first.

Buddy says

You are almost there. Sharing the safe way means a small group you chose, not the whole world.

One quick check first

Read it once for private things.

Once you share, you cannot take it back. So you check first.

Read your thing slowly, one line at a time. Look for these three things:

Full namesnames you did not mean to show

Your address or phonetake it out if you are not sure

Money or account numbersnever share these

Remove anything you did not mean to share. You can always add it back later.

When in doubt, leave it out. This one slow read keeps you safe.

Buddy says

This is the most important step. A slow read now saves you worry later.

A quick, vague try

is this okay to share

Add the who, what & how

A clear request

Read this text. Point out any full name, address, phone number, or money detail. Do not change my words. Just list what I should check. Text: Hi neighbors! Our building potluck is Saturday at 6pm in the courtyard. Bring a dish to share. Questions? Ask Marisol in 4B.

What the AI sends back

Here is what to check. "Marisol in 4B" names a person and a unit number. If you would rather not share that, you could just say "ask a neighbor." I found no address, phone, or money details. The rest looks safe to share.

ChatGPT did not change your words. It just pointed out the one thing to look at, so you decide.
