What you share.
WHAT NOT TO PUT INTO ANY AI TOOL
Passwords or credentials Bank or card details Identification numbers Other people's personal information, without their knowledge Anything confidential to an employer or client Photographs of documents containing personal data
WHY
You do not control what happens to it afterwards.
Retention, access and training use vary by provider and by plan.
WHAT TO CHECK
The provider's policy for the tier you use.
Free tiers frequently have different terms from paid ones.
FOR PERSONAL USE
Most ordinary questions are fine. The concern is specific: identifiers, credentials and other people's information.
ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE
Pasting a friend's message, a colleague's details or a family member's medical information shares their data, not yours.
Consider whether they would mind.
FOR PHOTOGRAPHS
Images contain metadata including location. Consider before uploading.
THE SIMPLE RULE
If you would not email it to a stranger, do not paste it into a tool you have not checked.
