Keep the information needed for a case while reducing unnecessary exposure.
Preserve an untouched original before editing a copy for sharing.
Start with the recipient's stated need and send the minimum relevant material.
A public account should be a carefully reduced version of a private evidence file.
A clear folder structure reduces accidental sharing and makes records easier to find.
Focus on the parts relevant to the information involved in your issue: the named organisation, purposes described, contact route and any stated retention arrangements.
A specific question can clarify how information in an existing case is being handled.
Before transferring a case file, confirm who will receive it, why they need it and how they want it supplied.
When a case closes, review which records you still need and how they are stored.
