Privacy for you and those you support

Review permissions and ask for consent before sharing information about others.

Sharing less protects more

A photograph, location or post can reveal routines and sensitive information. Before posting about another person, ask for their permission and respect their decision.

Review your settings

Limit who can see your posts and profile information.
Check which apps can access your location, camera and contacts; remove unnecessary permissions.
Avoid posting documents, medical details or images that identify other people.

Example: before posting a photo from an appointment or gathering, check that it does not show names, documents or people who do not want to be identified. Read about data protection rights from CNPD.
