Core AI privacy best practices

  • Minimize: paste the smallest snippet that still works
  • Segment: separate personal, work, and throwaway profiles
  • Verify: read training and retention language yearly
  • Delete: clear old threads after projects ship
  • Defend: use unique passwords and 2FA on AI accounts

Browser and device practices

Keep the OS updated, prefer a dedicated browser profile for sensitive AI chat, and be careful with clipboard managers that sync prompts to the cloud.
