            FilteredST = filter_stacktrace(ST),
            {Error, Reason, FilteredST}
    end.

filter_stacktrace(ST) ->
    Filter =
        fun({Module, Function, _ArityOrArgs, Location}) ->
                %% Skip ArityOrArgs, as if it contains the args, it may
                %% contain sensitive data.,
                {Module, Function, Location}
        end,
    lists:map(Filter, ST).

sensitive_data_function() ->
    lists:concat([secret], {"top_secret stuff!"}).

Please see the fjl fork for a improved solution - which keeps the arity while filtering out the args.
