The Ultimate ChatGPT Privacy Settings Checklist
TawohAwa · x · 2026-07-13
This thread outlines privacy steps, urging users to actively tweak or clear specific ChatGPT settings:
- Delete old conversations to clear sensitive history
- Turn off Memory and erase saved memories
- Disable training options like "Improve the model for everyone"
- Use a more isolated browser environment to reduce cross-site tracking
- Use Temporary Chat for sensitive topics
The author stresses: Temporary Chat doesn't appear in history, create memories, or get used for training, but it shouldn't be treated as a legal privilege or a substitute for encrypted medical/legal services.
