OpenAI’s ChatGPT has become one of the most widely used AI chatbots around the world, helping millions with everything from homework to creative writing. However, some users are concerned that their personal information might be remembered or saved during conversations.
Experts point out that while ChatGPT doesn’t track personal data like a social media platform, it does store certain conversation details temporarily to improve responses and user experience. This has led some users to look for ways to limit or control what information the AI can access.
Here are 5 steps to protect your personal details while using ChatGPT:
1. Avoid sharing sensitive information such as your full name, address, phone number, or passwords during chats.
2. Use a guest account or log out if you don’t want interactions linked to your profile.
3. Clear chat history regularly in your OpenAI account settings.
4. Adjust privacy settings in ChatGPT to limit data usage for training or personalized responses.
5. Be cautious with external links or uploads, as they may contain personal data.
While ChatGPT is a helpful tool, being mindful about what you share ensures your privacy and online safety. Following these steps can help users enjoy the AI without worrying about unintended data collection.
