I asked ChatGPT to summarize its own terms of service and privacy policy—explained like you would to a fifth grader!
Here’s what it said:
So, when you use ChatGPT, it needs a little bit of information to work properly. It remembers some of what you say so it can get better at answering questions. But it doesn’t keep everything you say forever—just for a little while. They also make sure nobody who’s not supposed to see your stuff can get to it.
Sometimes, ChatGPT needs help from other companies—kind of like having a friend help with homework—but those companies have to keep your information safe too. They’re not allowed to use it for their own advertising or sell it to someone else. And if ChatGPT ever changes the rules about how they handle your data, they let you know so you can decide if you’re okay with that.
In short: ChatGPT uses your info only to make itself better, it keeps it safe, it doesn’t sell it, and it lets you know if anything changes.
