THE QUESTION

What this page owns

Move AI companion use to a new device without leaving avoidable traces on the old one.

Begin with the named task and preserve the setup. Do not turn a product statement, automated scan or reachable page into proof that a person can complete the task.

REPEATABLE PROTOCOL

Four steps, one documented result

  1. 01

    Start with fictional, low-risk test content and record the exact device, software version and current setting.

  2. 02

    Set up the new device first, then verify login, permissions, notifications and expected synced content.

  3. 03

    Sign out and clean the old device only after the new setup is confirmed and recovery access is preserved.

  4. 04

    Record pass, problem or not checked; restore the least-permissive practical setting and note what remains unknown.

EVIDENCE TO KEEP

Make the observation reproducible

Setup
Device, operating system, browser, input method and assistive technology.
Task
Starting point, action and expected outcome in plain language.
Result
Pass, barrier observed or not checked — never a guessed score.
Limit
Device controls reduce avoidable exposure, but they do not prove what a service stores or deletes. Keep vendor policy, local observation and unknown behavior clearly separated.
SPONSORED CASE STUDY

Keep the route separate from the evidence.
