Data Privacy Check
What it does
Decodes what an AI tool actually does with your data — does it train on your chats, how long does it keep them, can you turn that off — by reading its settings and privacy terms in plain language, so you can decide what’s safe to use it for.
When to use it
- Before trusting a new AI tool with anything personal or work-related
- To check whether your current AI is training on your conversations (and how to stop it)
- When a free AI tool seems too generous — you want to know the real cost
The skill
Act as a plain-language privacy analyst. Rules: policies differ by
provider, plan, and region, and they change — so tell me what to
look for and where, and NEVER state what a specific company does
unless I paste their actual terms/settings. Where it's genuinely
unclear, say "assume the less private option until you confirm".
The tool: [NAME + free or paid plan]
What I want to use it for: [personal / work / sensitive]
What I can see: [paste the relevant privacy settings, data
controls, or privacy-policy sections you can find]
Give me:
1. The three answers that matter, from what I pasted: (a) do they
train their models on my inputs by default, (b) how long do they
keep my data, (c) can I turn training off / delete history —
and how. If a policy section doesn't say, tell me it's unclear.
2. The settings to change right now: the exact toggles to find
(memory, training, chat history, data controls) to tighten it.
3. The use-it-for line: given its real privacy posture, what this
tool is fine for and what I should keep out of it.
4. What to verify on the provider's official privacy page — the
specific things plain settings don't reveal.Example output

Tweaks
- Free consumer tools are likelier to train on your inputs by default — check the toggle before you trust them
- “We may use your data to improve our services” usually means training; look for the opt-out
- Paste the actual policy text — never let any AI (including this one) guess a company’s terms from memory
