Data privacy
Check private information before sharing.
Check who owns the records and what you can share. Having access to a system does not give you every sharing right.
Keep the work. Review private details.
Some details can be removed or replaced. Some records must stay out. The right approach depends on the data and its use.

Made-up examples. Replacement labels alone do not make data anonymous. Other details need review, and some records must stay out.
What stays out
The first inquiry needs a description only. Do not send raw customer records or grant access to live systems.
- Passwords, access tokens, and payment credentials
- Private or sensitive information outside the agreed task
- Material whose owners have not authorized the proposed use
- Restricted client records or third-party content
Questions to settle
- Which fields are necessary for the task?
- What must be removed, replaced, or excluded?
- Who can review the sample and where is it held?
- Which transfer method and retention period apply?
- Who approves a change to the scope?
Start without sharing records.
Describe what you hold and get a starting range. Note the permission questions that still need an answer.
