Can my words to ChatGPT ever be seen by other people?

You will learn who might see your chats and how to keep them private.

Your chats are mostly private. Other users cannot read your messages.

But the company behind ChatGPT may review some chats to keep things safe and working.

So it is wise not to type very private things, like passwords or account numbers.

A simple rule helps. Share only what you would not mind a stranger seeing.

Try this
  1. Before you type, ask yourself if it is too private to share.
  2. Leave out passwords, bank numbers, and ID details.
  3. Use general examples instead of your real private facts.
  4. Check your privacy settings for more control.

A good habit is to never type passwords or account numbers into any chat.
