ChatGPT often comes across as a helpful companion, aiding in writing and analysis tasks. However, it’s crucial to remember that ChatGPT is a creation of OpenAI, the organization behind this AI chatbot and the entity with access to the data you input.
To clarify, ChatGPT doesn’t share your data with advertisers. Nevertheless, privacy-conscious individuals may still have reservations, especially given recent findings that suggest chatbots can inadvertently reveal information acquired during their training, raising concerns about sharing personal details.
The good news is that ChatGPT offers an option to prevent your conversations from being used as part of its training data. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to activate this privacy feature.
How to Safeguard Your Conversations on ChatGPT
Enabling ChatGPT’s ‘incognito mode’ is a straightforward process. Here are the steps:
- Log in to your ChatGPT account.
- Locate the three dots next to your email in the bottom left corner.
- Access the Settings.
- Click on ‘Show’ next to Data Controls.
- Toggle off both ‘Chat History’ and ‘Training.’
On mobile devices, you can navigate to ChatGPT’s settings page in a similar manner and access Data Controls to disable these options.
That’s all there is to it! You have successfully prevented ChatGPT from recording your conversations and using them for training purposes. It’s important to note, however, that activating this feature means your chat history will be erased, and you won’t have access to older conversations. If preserving your chat history is important, don’t worry—you can easily re-enable it at any time. Simply visit the UI’s homepage and click ‘Enable Chat History.’
