Watch to see the exact prompt and the finishing touches that pull it together.

AI

Chances are whatever you type into an AI chatbot is being saved, and in some cases used to train future models or reviewed by actual people. This KTLA 5 segment breaks down ChatGPT's privacy policy alongside the settings in Claude, Meta AI, and Gemini, since each one handles retention differently. A few clicks change what happens to your conversations. See the exact menu paths for each platform before your next sensitive question.
