Outcome
Know what you're sharing and how to share less.
When you use most AI tools, what you type is sent to the company's servers to produce a response. Some services may also use your inputs to improve their systems unless you turn that off.
Practical steps
- Look for a privacy or data-control setting and review it
- Turn off 'use my data for training' if you can and prefer to
- Don't paste anything you'd be uncomfortable a stranger reading
- Delete conversations you don't need to keep
The safest rule is the simplest: if it's private, don't paste it.
