My privacy rules
Write one rule for public material, one for sensitive personal data, one for work or school information, and one for credentials.
Safety boundary
Do not paste real personal, confidential, credential, student, patient, employer, or other third-party data into this Lab. Use the fictional descriptions only.
Method note
The deterministic bands teach a pause-and-check process. They cannot assess a provider’s current terms, your organization’s rules, consent, contracts, or applicable law.
Text alternative
Each scenario states the data, purpose, account context, and consequence in text. Choose among direct sharing, minimized sharing, or keeping it out and using an approved route.
