Embodiments of the present application relate to protecting private information provided on a transaction card and/or a document using a reflective element. A transaction card includes a card body, wherein the card body includes a surface with a first surface area. The surface of the card body includes private information that encompasses a second surface area of the surface, and the second surface area is less than the first surface area. The transaction card includes a reflective element that is applied to the surface of the card body, and includes a third surface area. The third surface area is based on the first surface area or the second surface area, and the third surface area enables the reflective element to reflect light away from the private information. 本申请的各实施例涉及利用反射元件保护被提供在交易卡和/或文档上的私有信息。一种交易卡包括卡体，其中卡体包括具有第一表面区域的表面。卡体的表面包括私有信息，私有信息涵盖表面的第二表面区域，并且第二表面区域小于第一表面区域。交易卡包括被应用到卡体的表面的反射元件，并且包括第三表面区域。第三表面区域基于第一表面区域或者第二表面区域，并且第三表面区域使得反射元件能够将光反射远离私有信息。
