What Happens to Your Chats
Understand how providers may store and use what you type.
Where Your Words Go
When you type to an AI, your message does not just vanish after the reply. It travels to the company's servers and may be stored and used in various ways. Understanding this is the first step to using AI safely. In this lesson you will learn, in plain terms, what generally happens to the things you type into a chatbot.
It Leaves Your Device
Most AI chats run on the company's computers, not yours. So whatever you type is sent over the internet to their servers to be processed. This is normal and necessary for the AI to work. But it means your words leave your phone, so treating them as completely private to you alone would be a mistake.
