Short answer
Consumer ChatGPT experiences have historically allowed chat data to improve models unless you change settings or use a plan/workspace with different rules. Business and API terms often differ. Policies change, so check the live data controls in your account.
What to click through before you paste
- Open data controls / training settings for your account
- Confirm whether workspace admins can see threads
- Check retention language for uploaded files
- Assume anything you paste could be retained longer than the UI suggests
If you need a hard no-training product
If your requirement is AI chat that does not train on your data, pick a product that states that clearly. Secrypt does not use conversation content to train models.
Also practice prompt hygiene: never paste passwords, seed phrases, or raw customer databases.
