+#### File Path Collection
+
+File and directory paths can contain user names, tenant identifiers, document names, and other PII. SDKs that automatically instrument file-system operations **MUST** gate any collected path arguments with `filePaths`.
+
+When `filePaths` is `false`, SDKs **MUST NOT** attach full paths or base names obtained from file-system operation arguments. SDKs **MAY** retain non-identifying metadata such as the operation name, file extension, byte count, or whether the target is a file or directory.
+
+This option does not apply to:
+
+- Source-code locations in stack frames, profile frames, or debug images
+- Attachment names or paths explicitly supplied by the user
+- SDK-internal paths used only for local storage and never attached to telemetry
+
+---
+
 #### HTTP Header Collection
 
 SDKs **MUST** allow users to configure request and response header collection independently. Each direction supports the same key-value collection modes described above.
