1. Browser & Tab Privacy
Close Unrelated Browser Tabs
Tab titles in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari expose private document names, internal dashboards, competitor research, or personal messaging portals.
Hide the Bookmarks Bar
Bookmark icons and folder names frequently disclose internal tools, staging environments, financial portals, or private services.
Inspect URLs for Sensitive Query Parameters
Web URLs in admin consoles often contain user IDs, authentication tokens, session IDs, or private email addresses in query strings.
2. Operating System & Notifications
Enable "Do Not Disturb" / Focus Assist
Popup banners from Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Apple Messages, or Outlook can pop up mid-call and expose confidential conversations.
Clean Up the Desktop Wallpaper & Icons
If sharing an entire monitor, clear downloaded financial PDFs, client contracts, and spreadsheet exports from your desktop grid.
Share a Single Window Instead of Entire Desktop
Always prefer sharing the specific Chrome window rather than "Screen 1" or "Entire Desktop" to prevent app switching leaks.
3. Confidential On-Page Data (In-Browser Content)
Customer & Client Email Addresses
CRM tables and user lists frequently list customer contact addresses. Exposing them can violate GDPR and customer NDA obligations.
Password Fields & Session Tokens
Ensure password managers or authentication settings fields are visually obscured.
Credit Card & Payment Numbers
Billing portals and payment configuration pages must never reveal raw 16-digit card sequences, CVVs, or bank routing numbers.
API Keys, Secrets & Environment Variables
Cloud developer consoles (AWS, Stripe, Google Cloud) often expose bearer tokens, production keys, or webhook secrets.
Internal Codenames & Revenue Metrics
Executive dashboards showing MRR, customer churn, or unreleased project titles should be shielded from external parties.
