Is it safe to send a strace log to a stranger?

There is a certain software (terminal / console for accessing network equipment), in some environment it starts to shamelessly slow down and freeze. When communicating with developers, the latter asked to remove and send strace at the time of observing the problem. Actually the log is removed and it is gigantic. And here we come to the question - is it safe to send it to an outsider? Strace, judging by mana and google, is a program that logs system calls / responses from / to a specific program. With parameters, which is important. And these parameters, in my opinion, should contain the data with which this program worked, right? But then somewhere there may be private data (logins / passwords / ip), access to which third parties would like to avoid. I just didn't find anything by searching the log. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place or not?
upd: and if so, and private data can be contained there, then how to clean them up from there in order to still provide the log to developers?

Login and password can be in the open, but most likely in binary form. Something similar to the sequence:
0x**, 0x**,...
