How to fix it
Blur addresses, plates, documents and faces of people who did not consent, and do not film in private spaces without permission.
Good to know
Readable house numbers with street names, license plates tied to a named person, ID cards, mail, phone numbers, screens with personal data, or intimate hidden-camera footage. Your own details shared on purpose, and public business addresses, do not count. Covert filming in private places and exposing a child's location are covered by “Secret filming in private places or a child's location”.
Can FYProof spot it?
A full check of your video looks for it in what's shown, what's said, the words on screen and the caption. What a check finds is an estimate, not a guarantee.
