What you should never paste into an AI chat
If you wouldn't email it to a stranger, don't paste it.
What you type into an AI chat leaves your computer and reaches a company's servers. Depending on the app and your settings, it may be stored or used to improve the model.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't use it. It means you separate what is yours and public from what is private or belongs to others.

Check your AI app's settings and find the option about whether your chats are used for training. Decide whether to keep it on.
Test yourself
Your company gave you an approved AI tool. Can you upload an internal document?
- Yes, if your company's policy allows it in that tool
- Yes, in any app
- Never
See the answer
Yes, if your company's policy allows it in that tool. Enterprise versions usually come with different privacy terms. Your company sets the rule, not the free app.
If you lead a team
Does your team know which tool is approved and which data they can use? If the answer is "everyone uses whatever they like", that's a risk.
