Doxxing prevention

Reduce personal leakage from names, backgrounds, metadata, and social cross‑links.

High‑leak items to avoid

• Real name, local area, employer, school, or routine details.
• Social handles, unique usernames, or cross‑posted profile photos.
• Visible mail/packages, documents, or identifiable backgrounds.
• Photos with embedded location metadata.

Practical hardening steps

1. Use a separate email and keep accounts compartmentalized.
2. Use a dedicated browser profile and avoid personal logins there.
3. Strip location metadata from photos you share anywhere.
4. Keep chats and payments on‑platform (reduces identity pressure).

If someone threatens exposure
