Privacy and Sharing: Safety Basics

Maps can reveal more than you think. Use these simple practices to share safely.

Before you share

  • Remove home addresses or sensitive places
  • Check marker descriptions for private details
  • Use unlisted links (share only with intended viewers)

After you share

If you regret sharing, revoke the link and generate a new one for the correct audience.

FAQ

Is an unlisted link private? It is hidden from search engines, but anyone with the link can view it.
