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

That split-second doubt, answered

You're about to paste something into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot, and a small voice asks: should I? This tool answers that in seconds. It looks at what's in your text, checks it against what the AI vendor's own published terms say happens to your chats on your exact plan, and gives you one of three verdicts (Safe, Caution or Risk) with the reason in plain language and a safer alternative when there is one.

The check runs entirely on your device. Nothing you type or paste here leaves your browser. A privacy checker that uploaded your text would rather defeat the point. Simple pattern matching spots things like email addresses, phone numbers, IBANs, card numbers, API keys and health-related words, then you confirm or correct what it found.

3 plain-language verdicts: Safe / Caution / Risk
Weekly vendor terms re-checked by an automated scan
How to use it

Three steps, a few seconds

  1. Paste your text

    Drop it into the box above (or dictate it with the mic). The checker reads it on your device and tells you what kind of sensitive content it spots.

  2. See where it's safe to paste

    You get a ranked list of every AI and plan, safest first, each with a Safe, Caution or Risk verdict for your exact text. ChatGPT Free and ChatGPT Enterprise follow very different rules, so the plan matters as much as the vendor.

  3. Open any row for the why

    Expand a service to see its training and retention policy and a safer alternative. Got the detected content wrong? Correct it in one tap; only you know it's client work or company-internal.

The method behind it

Where every verdict comes from

Every verdict comes from one kind of source: the vendor's own published data-use terms and privacy documentation: OpenAI's data controls policy, Anthropic's consumer terms, Google's Gemini privacy hub, Microsoft's Copilot privacy FAQ. Every verdict in our data carries the links and the date we read them; the full list is under Sources at the bottom of this page. An automated scan re-reads those documents every week, and the "Last verified" date only moves when we actually checked. The full process is on our how we test page.

Honest limits, because you should know them

The on-device detection is heuristic. It can miss a name written in lowercase, an address in an unusual format, or sensitive context that no pattern can catch, and it can occasionally flag something harmless. That's why every category is a chip you can toggle, not a silent decision. When you're unsure, treat it as Risk: leave it out or swap it for a placeholder. One boundary we keep on purpose: 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 are different: there, OpenAI commits not to train on your data by default. The checker shows you the exact policy for the plan you pick, with the source linked below.

Is the text I paste here uploaded to Skuto? +

No, and that's the whole point of this tool. The check runs entirely in your browser with simple pattern matching. Your text is never sent to Skuto or anyone else; you can open your browser's 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 or setting makes a leaked secret safe again, so use placeholders and rotate any key you've already pasted. Be just as careful with other people's personal data and anything covered by an NDA: under GDPR you stay responsible for it 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 actually changes the terms is a business product, like ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, or Microsoft 365 Copilot, where no-training commitments and a data processing agreement are part of the contract. The checker reflects exactly that difference.

How current is this information? +

Every verdict comes from the vendor's own published terms, and an automated scan re-reads those sources weekly. The "Last verified" date at the bottom of this page only moves when we actually re-checked. We never bump dates to look fresh. If a vendor changes its terms, the verdicts here change with them.
