Protecting Your Privacy with AI

Essential guidelines for keeping your personal information safe.

Before You Share

Never share with AI:

• Passwords or security codes
• Social Security numbers
• Financial account details
• Full names combined with addresses

Anonymize Your Data

Before uploading documents:

• Remove personal identifiers
• Use generic descriptions ("a colleague" vs. "John Smith")
• Strip location and date details when possible

Understand the Trade-offs

Review Settings

Most AI tools have privacy settings:

• Check data retention policies
• Disable training on your data if possible
• Use "incognito" or temporary chat modes
• Create separate accounts for sensitive topics
