Sensitive data in application preview videos

Security claims, store pages, user expectations and conversion measurement.

ASO and store trust1 min readEditorial methods

Preview videos can demonstrate login and protection, but recordings can expose secrets or personal information.

Evaluation approach

Use test accounts and invalid demo data. Keep notifications, clipboard contents and unrelated applications out of recordings.

Application example

A payment demo should not use real customer names or employee access codes.

Limits and considerations

Editing must not imply stronger behavior than the shipped product provides.

What does a video prove?

It illustrates a user flow, not independent attack resistance. Do not inflate security promises through visual effects or icons.

Checks and decisions

  • Prepare the recording environment
  • Check demo data
  • Review the final video
