Is it safe to share my work documents with ChatGPT?
You will learn which work files are risky and how to stay safe.
Be careful with work files. Some hold private details you should not share.
Risky files have customer names, money figures, or company secrets. Keep those out.
Many workplaces have rules about this. Check with your boss before sharing any work file.
If you just need help with wording, you can use made-up details instead of the real ones.
Try this
- Ask your workplace if using AI with work files is allowed.
- Never paste customer names, money figures, or secrets.
- Swap real details for made-up ones if you need writing help.
- When unsure, leave the file out and ask a general question.
A message you can copy
Can you help me improve the wording of this work note? I have changed the names and numbers to fake ones.
Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.

When in doubt, ask your boss first. It is always okay to check.
