Quick check
Guess first, no penalty. You need a chatbot (an AI chat tool) for one short, sensitive draft, and you don't want it kept in your history. Which setting fits?
Most chat tools have a small set of privacy controls. Learn where they live in the tool you use most.
| Setting | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Data or training control | Decides whether your chats can be used to train models | Set it so work chats aren't used for training |
| Temporary or incognito chat | Keeps the chat out of history and memory | Short one-off tasks, sensitive drafts |
| Delete chat history | Removes past chats from your account | After a task that touched private data |
| Memory | Remembers details across chats | Only for things you are happy to be stored |
In ChatGPT (an AI chat tool), the data and training control sits under Settings, then Data controls. Other tools put similar switches in privacy, data or account settings. If you use more than one tool, check each one.
