Never share sensitive personal or business data

Treat AI chat as a public conversation. Never paste passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, proprietary business data, confidential client information, or private medical records into any AI tool. Once submitted, you lose control of that data.

Why It Works

AI providers store conversation data on their servers. Even with privacy policies, data breaches happen, and some providers use conversations to train future models. Keeping sensitive data out entirely eliminates the risk.

Tips

• Anonymize data before sharing: replace real names with "Person A," real numbers with representative examples
• For work documents, strip confidential details before asking the AI to help with formatting or analysis
• If you must analyze sensitive data with AI, use an enterprise plan with data protection guarantees
