The real ChatGPT privacy concerns

  • Whether chats can improve models depending on settings and plan
  • Who in a workspace can see threads
  • How long conversations and files are retained
  • What you accidentally paste (keys, customer data, health details)

A safer decision tree

If the content is public-blog-safe, most major assistants are fine. If it is client-confidential or personally sensitive, use a private AI chat product or local AI. If it is regulated, get counsel and a BAA/DPA when required - do not freestyle.

Moving sensitive threads to Secrypt

Secrypt exists for private, uncensored AI chat with a no-training stance on conversations. It is a practical destination when ChatGPT privacy concerns outweigh brand familiarity.
