Addresses

Your address shouldn't be in your video.

A package on your desk, an envelope at the edge of the frame, the street name behind you during a vlog: one frame is all it takes for a stranger to find where you live.

Where it appears most often

  • Package and delivery labels
  • Envelopes, invoices, and letters on a desk
  • Street signs and door numbers during a vlog
  • An address said out loud ("I'm at 12… Street")
  • A delivery or GPS app on screen

How ScanMyVid spots it

  • On-screen text is read frame by frame, even at an angle or partially hidden.
  • The audio is transcribed: a spoken address is flagged at the right timecode.
  • Each clip is scored by severity: a city alone isn't as serious as a full address.

Why it's risky

A published address can't be taken back: screenshots, reuploads, and archives keep it alive. It's the most-used data in cases of creator harassment.

The tip before filming

Film unboxings with the label facing down: it's the most common mistake.
