ChatGPT Privacy Checker

Yes, by default ChatGPT saves your entire conversation history. This data is stored on OpenAI's servers, may be reviewed by humans for safety, and can be used to train future models unless you opt out. You can disable history in settings, but this also means losing your conversation history feature.

Go to Settings > Data Controls > toggle off 'Chat history & training'. This prevents new conversations from being used for training. For past data, you can request deletion through OpenAI's privacy portal. Note: the API has different (better) privacy defaults than the consumer product.

It depends on your company's policy and what you share. Never share confidential business information, client data, proprietary code, or trade secrets. Many companies have banned or restricted ChatGPT use. For business needs, ChatGPT Enterprise or API with data controls is safer than personal accounts.

Never share: passwords or credentials, social security or ID numbers, financial account details, confidential work documents, client or customer data, proprietary code, medical records, or anything you'd be uncomfortable with a stranger reading. Treat it as a helpful but public conversation.
