Safety and privacy
The text you type into a chat tool is sent to the service’s servers. The service’s terms and settings determine how the data is stored and used, so read them.
Do not enter passwords, bank details, passport or other ID numbers, real patient data or company secrets. If needed, change the details and describe things in general terms.
For serious decisions about health, law and finance, a model’s suggestion does not replace a professional.
Remember
- Do not enter confidential data.
- Read the terms and settings.
- Consult a professional for serious decisions.
