Life-Use AI and Privacy
Asking AI means what you input is sent to a server. Unlike work, confidentiality tiers are looser, but know the minimum rules to protect family personal info and private consultations.
Information to Be Careful Inputting
- Family real names/address/phone
- Health info (specific history/medication/mental concerns)
- Kids' photos/school/age
- Account/card numbers/passwords
- My Number/driver's-license number
- Location info/home-area identifying details
Protect with 3 Settings
1. "Not Used for Training" Setting
The 3 main AIs let users choose whether input data is used for training.
- ChatGPT: Settings → Data Controls → turn OFF "Improve the model for everyone"
- Claude: not used for training by default (personal plan)
- Gemini: turn OFF "Gemini Activity" (Google account settings)
