Navigating AI's Privacy Labyrinth: A Guide to Chatbot Data Policies

Some, like Claude, never use your chats for training unless you ask, while others, like Google Gemini, use your data by default unless you go through many steps to stop it. Business and school accounts usually get extra protection. From September 2025, Gemini will also use files you upload unless you change your settings. New laws in Europe and parts of the US are pushing companies to make it easier for you to protect your privacy.
