MakeUseOf: “ChatGPT’s privacy policy tells us almost everything we need to know about its data retention habits. It gathers its information from three sources:

• Account information that you enter when you sign up or pay for a premium plan.
• Information that you type into the chatbot itself.
• Identifying data it pulls from your device or browser, like your IP address and location.

Most of the data that it keeps isn’t particularly alarming. In fact, it’s pretty standard—you could expect almost any site you have an account with to know these things about you. The real risk is that it collects data from your conversations with ChatGPT. When you’re using the AI, it’s extremely easy to feed it your private information by mistake. All you need to do is forget to censor a document that you ask it to proofread, and you could be in real trouble.”
