Can I hide birth year on kids' sports rosters?

Cover the column or cell; roster screenshots are a common leak source for minors.

Black box or strong pixelate is safer when digits must not be guessed; blur may leave shapes.

DOB plus name unlocks many account recovery flows. A driver's-license photo shared for age verification should hide the birthdate band even if the license number is already covered.

HideShot redacts locally for birthday party posts where cake numerals reveal a minor's exact age to strangers. Box digits on banners and hospital wristbands the same way.
