Privacy and Security Basics for New Creators

Strip metadata before you upload

Photos and videos carry hidden metadata — sometimes including location data. Strip it before uploading anywhere, every time, without exception.

Use a password manager and unique passwords

Every platform, every email account, every payment processor gets its own strong, unique password. A password manager makes this painless.

Plan for account recovery in advance

Set up two-factor authentication and store your recovery codes somewhere safe and offline before you need them, not after you are locked out.
