Reviews are public. They are not an appropriate place to request passwords, tokens or private documents.

Evaluation approach

Reply clearly and direct users to safe support. Avoid unverified accusations about their devices.

Application example

Version and a limited error code may be enough to begin investigating a launch failure.

Limits and considerations

Deleting feedback or asking for a better rating does not resolve a technical defect.

What must stay out of public replies?

Account numbers, device identifiers and sensitive event details belong in controlled channels. Keep public guidance brief and useful.

Checks and decisions

  • Do not request secrets
  • Provide support
  • Investigate causes
