That's what we explicitly warn about:
*HOWEVER*, some variables you have customized may contain private
information. The names of customers, colleagues, or friends, might
appear in the form of file names, tags, todo states or search strings.
If you answer \"yes\" to the prompt, you might want to check and remove
such private information before sending the email.

I guess we can extend the dialogue to exclude what you described.
Basically allow third answer to the privacy prompt - "remove items that
might contain private info". But that risks providing a false sense of
safety - there is always a chance that some options will still contain
private info.

Most likely it is related to native compilation.
What do you mean by "hamper"?
