4. Public and Private Content

Depending on the features available on PastrX, pastes may be publicly accessible through their URLs.

You should not place passwords, financial information, private communications, personal information, API keys, authentication tokens, or other sensitive information into a publicly accessible Paste.

If you share a Paste with another person, you are responsible for ensuring that you are comfortable with the information being accessible through the relevant link.
