Alert: Your information is being secretly saved on ChatGPT; if you want to avoid this, follow these 5 steps..

How to Stop ChatGPT From Getting Personal Details: OpenAI's ChatGPT has become a popular AI chatbot worldwide. It learns and remembers a lot from your conversations. It quietly saves your personal information. But many people don't want their private information to be held by the company. The good news is that ChatGPT has several settings that allow you to maintain your privacy. Here are 5 easy ways to prevent ChatGPT from collecting too much of your information. Using these methods will help you stay safe.

1. Don't Create an Account
A PC Mag report (Ref.) states that you usually need to create an account to use ChatGPT. But now you can use it without creating an account. Go to the ChatGPT website and start chatting directly. This prevents your conversation history from being saved and limits the information the company receives about you. If you only need basic functionality and prioritize privacy, this is the best method.

2. Avoid This Sign-Up Method
If you have to create an account, be cautious. When signing up for ChatGPT, you have the option to link your Google, Apple, or Microsoft account. However, this shares some of your information with those companies. It's better to create an account using your own email and a strong password. This way, your ChatGPT account won't be linked to other accounts, and changing your password will be easier.

3. Use Temporary Chat
When you log in with an account, ChatGPT remembers all your conversations and can use them for training. But if you want to keep a particular conversation private, start a temporary chat. In the chat window, press the temporary chat button in the corner. The screen will turn black, and a message will appear indicating that this chat will not be remembered. In this mode, you can have more private conversations because they are not stored in memory.

4. Turn Off the Memory Feature
ChatGPT remembers things you tell it, such as what you do for a living, your hobbies, or who is in your family. This is the same information that the user has shared with ChatGPT at some point. If you don't want this information to be saved by ChatGPT, turn off Memory. Go to the Personalization section in Settings and turn off "Reference Saved Memories."

5. Remove other information, including your nickname
On the personalization screen, you can enter your nickname, job, or other details. If you have already entered them and want to remove them, simply clear the fields and save. This will prevent ChatGPT from accessing your personal information. This is an easy way to delete old information.
