AI and your privacy: what happens to what you type
You type something into an AI and wonder where it goes. That's a fair thing to wonder: the answer depends on your plan, your settings, and what you typed. This page gives you the short, honest version, plus a tool that checks your exact situation in seconds.

Does ChatGPT train on my chats?
Often, yes. On most free and consumer plans, AI companies can use your conversations to train future models, unless you switch that off. Business and enterprise plans usually exclude training by default. So the honest answer is: it depends on your plan. And that difference matters the moment you paste anything personal.
How do I opt out of AI training?
Almost every assistant has a switch in its data settings (usually called something like "data controls" or "improve the model") that stops new chats from being used for training. Flipping it doesn't erase what you already sent, and it doesn't make pasting sensitive data safe. It's one layer of protection, not a force field.
What should I never paste into an AI?
Passwords, full card numbers, medical records, other people's personal data, and anything under NDA. A good rule of thumb: if you wouldn't email it to a friendly stranger, don't paste it into a chat. For everything in between, the grey zone, that's exactly what our checker is for.
