# Shared Link Safety

> Understand the risks of shared links and how to share ZeroTwo content safely.

ZeroTwo lets you share chats and canvases via a link. Before sharing, it's important to understand how shared links work — who can see them, what they contain, and how to revoke them if needed.

## How Shared Links Work

When you create a shared link for a chat or canvas in ZeroTwo:

* The link is **publicly accessible** — anyone who has the URL can view the content
* **No login is required** — viewers do not need a ZeroTwo account
* **No password protection** — there is no access control on shared links
* **No access notifications** — you will not be notified who viewed your link or when

This is by design for easy sharing, but it means you should be thoughtful about what you share and with whom.

<Warning>
  Shared links are public. If your link is posted on a public forum, indexed by a search engine, or forwarded beyond the intended recipient, anyone can view the content. Treat shared links like public documents.
</Warning>

## What Is Included in a Shared Link

A shared chat link contains:

* The **conversation text** — all messages and AI responses in the chat
* Any **code blocks, tables, or structured output** from the conversation
* The general flow of the conversation

A shared link does **not** contain:

* Your **memory context** — ZeroTwo's knowledge about you is not exposed to viewers
* Your **custom instructions** — your personalization settings are not included
* Your **uploaded files** — the file itself is not accessible; only the conversation text about the file
* Your **account details** — name, email, and profile information are not shared

<Info>
  Even though files themselves aren't shared, the conversation may contain summaries, quotes, or analysis from those files. If your file contained sensitive information, the conversation text may still reveal it.

## Risks to Consider Before Sharing

Review your chat for the following before creating a shared link:

  <Card title="Credentials & API Keys" icon="key">
    Never share chats where you pasted passwords, API keys, tokens, or secrets — even if the conversation was about something else. Scrub these before sharing.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Personal Information" icon="eye-off">
    Be cautious with combinations of name + address + date of birth, or any information that could be used for identity theft or social engineering.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Confidential Business Info" icon="building">
    Internal strategy, unreleased product details, financial projections, client data, or any information under NDA should not be in a public shared link.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Third-Party Information" icon="users">
    If you discussed information about other people (colleagues, clients, contacts), sharing that conversation may expose their information without their consent.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Financial & Medical Data" icon="shield">
    Financial account details, medical records, health conditions, and similar sensitive data should never be in a publicly shared link.
  </Card>

  <Card title="File Contents" icon="clipboard">
    Remember that the conversation may summarize or quote from files you uploaded. Even though the file itself isn't shared, its contents may be visible in the chat text.
  </Card>

## Revoking Shared Links

You can revoke any shared link at any time. Revoking takes effect immediately — the link stops working the moment you revoke it.

**To revoke a shared link:**

1. Go to **Settings → Data Controls → Shared Links**
2. Find the link you want to revoke (links are listed with their creation date and a preview of the chat title)
3. Click **Revoke** next to the link
4. The link is immediately invalidated — anyone who tries to visit it will see an error

**To revoke all shared links at once:**

* In Settings → Data Controls → Shared Links, look for the option to revoke all links in bulk

## Best Practices for Safe Sharing

**Share via direct message, not public posts.**
When possible, send shared links directly to your intended recipient rather than posting them in public channels, forums, or social media where they can be indexed or forwarded.

**Revoke links after use.**
Once the recipient has reviewed the content, revoke the link. This limits the window during which the content is publicly accessible.

**Audit your shared links periodically.**
Go to Settings → Data Controls → Shared Links and review what you've shared. Revoke any links for chats that are no longer relevant to share or that contain information you'd prefer to keep private.

**For sensitive work, use alternatives to shared links.**
Consider exporting your conversation to PDF or copying the relevant text and sharing it directly (via email or a secure document) instead of creating a public link. This gives you more control over who receives the content.

**Don't share links that contain credentials.**
If you realize after the fact that a shared link contains an API key, password, or token, revoke the link immediately and rotate the credential.

## Business Plan Note

If your organization is on the Business plan:

* Org admins may have visibility into member shared links per your organization's data policy
* Consider informing your team of your organization's sharing policy so members know what they should and shouldn't share
* If your org handles sensitive data, establish a clear policy: what's okay to share, what requires review, and what should never be shared via public link

## Frequently Asked Questions

<Accordion title="Can I make a shared link require a password or login?">
  No. ZeroTwo shared links are currently public with no access control options. If you need controlled access, share content via other means (email, secure doc sharing tools).
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Does revoking a link delete the original conversation?">
  No. Revoking a shared link only makes that specific link stop working. Your original conversation is unaffected and remains in your account.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can someone download my files from a shared link?">
  No. Files you uploaded are not accessible through shared links. Only the conversation text is shared.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Will my name or email appear on a shared link?">
  Your account email and full profile information are not exposed in shared links. Depending on the content of your conversation, you may have mentioned your name — that would appear in the conversation text.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="What happens to shared links if I delete my account?">
  Deleting your account removes your data including shared links. Any previously shared links will stop working after account deletion.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can I see how many times a shared link was viewed?">
  No. ZeroTwo does not provide view counts or analytics for shared links. You won't know who has viewed a link or how many times it's been accessed.
