Skuto Paste Checker
Check before you paste: pick what you're about to share and which AI you use, and see in seconds if it's safe, with the vendor's actual terms and a safer alternative.
Checked on your device. Your text never leaves it. Not even to us.
Paste your text above, or tap the categories it contains. Your verdict appears right here.
Skuto explains what vendors' published terms say, in plain language, so you can decide for yourself. This is education, not legal advice — for binding questions, check the linked terms or ask a professional.

What it does: answers "should I paste this?" in seconds
- Reads your text and checks it against the vendor's own published terms for your exact plan.
- Gives one of three verdicts — Safe, Caution or Risk — with a plain reason and a safer alternative when there is one.
- Spots emails, phone numbers, IBANs, card numbers, API keys and health words. You confirm or correct each find.
- Runs entirely on your device — nothing you type leaves your browser.
How to use it: three steps, a few seconds
- Paste your text into the box above (or dictate it). The checker reads it on your device.
- See where it's safe — a ranked list of every AI and plan, safest first. ChatGPT Free and Enterprise follow very different rules, so the plan matters as much as the vendor.
- Open any row for the why — its training and retention policy, plus a safer alternative. Got a detection wrong? Fix it in one tap.
Where every verdict comes from
One kind of source only: each vendor's own published data-use terms — OpenAI's data controls, Anthropic's consumer terms, Google's Gemini privacy hub, Microsoft's Copilot FAQ. Every verdict carries the links and the date we read them (under Sources, below). A scan re-reads them weekly; "Last verified" only moves when we actually checked. Full process on our how we test page.
Honest limits — what this can't catch
On-device detection is heuristic: it can miss a lowercase name, an oddly formatted address or context no pattern catches, and occasionally flags something harmless. That's why every category is a chip you can toggle. When unsure, treat it as Risk — leave it out or use a placeholder. And this tool explains what vendors' terms say so you can decide: it's education, not legal advice. For anything binding, check the linked terms or ask a professional.
Frequent questions
Does ChatGPT train on what I paste? +
On personal plans (Free, Go, Plus), yes by default — OpenAI's 'Improve the model for everyone' setting is on until you turn it off under Settings → Data Controls. ChatGPT Business and Enterprise don't train on your data by default. The checker shows the exact policy for the plan you pick, with the source linked below.
Is the text I paste here uploaded to Skuto? +
No — that's the whole point. The check runs in your browser with simple pattern matching. Your text never reaches Skuto or anyone else; open your network tab and watch nothing leave. Only you decide what eventually goes to an AI.
What should I never paste into an AI chat? +
Real passwords, API keys and private certificates — no plan makes a leaked secret safe again, so use placeholders and rotate anything you've already pasted. Be just as careful with other people's personal data and anything under an NDA: GDPR still makes you responsible, even inside a chat window.
Does a paid plan make pasting safe? +
Not by itself. ChatGPT Plus and Google AI Pro follow the same consumer data rules as the free tiers. What changes the terms is a business product — ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, or Microsoft 365 Copilot — where no-training commitments and a data processing agreement are in the contract.
How current is this information? +
Every verdict comes from the vendor's own published terms, and an automated scan re-reads them weekly. The "Last verified" date below only moves when we actually re-checked — we never bump dates to look fresh. When a vendor changes its terms, the verdicts change with them.
