Can my words to ChatGPT ever be seen by other people?
Learn who may see an AI chat.
A chat is not a public post by default. But it is not a vault for secrets.
Someone who can use your account or device may see it. A shared link or linked app may expose it too.
The service may store or review chats under its rules. Check its privacy controls.
Try this
- Use made-up details for practice.
- Keep passwords and private files out.
- Check whether you shared a chat link.
- Review which apps can use your data.
- Sign out on a shared device.
A message you can copy
Explain how a shared chat link differs from a private note.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.
Buddy says
Privacy settings do not make a chat a safe place for passwords.
