Sessions 7 & 8 ยท Hands-on ยท ~30 min

Delete, destroy, leave no trace

A secure conversation isn't finished when it ends โ€” it's finished when nothing remains. Destroying the room removes it for everyone; clearing your browser removes it from your device. Both matter.

Interactive ยท Practice the clean exit

Wipe every trace

After a Convene session, these six things could reveal what you did. Tap each one to wipe it and shrink your digital footprint to zero.

Digital footprint 100%

โœจ Footprint: zero. Nothing on the device says this conversation ever happened.

Session 8 ยท Best practices

Two roles, two playbooks

Creating a room and joining one carry different risks. Use the checklist that matches your role โ€” and always finish with a clean exit.

Role 1

Room creator

  • Update your device OS and apps
  • Keep credentials in a password manager like Bitwarden
  • Use a separate device for Convene and Chinese apps
  • Share links securely โ€” mirrors when needed, only with people you trust
  • Keep personal information to a minimum
  • Destroy the room when you're done

Role 2

Joining a room

  • Update your device OS and apps
  • Use an incognito / private browser window
  • Copy and paste the room link into the browser to join
  • Create a password if you want to keep the session
  • Don't save anything on your device
  • Destroy the room when done โ€” or leave and wipe browser traces
