User reports ChatGPT Locked Chat contents leaking: model recalls private info outside the lock
deanat78 · reddit · 2026-11-12
A ChatGPT user reports that a conversation kept entirely inside a Locked Chat leaked: when asked outside the locked area whether it knew about "X", the model recited private details shared only within the lock.
The user had relied on Locked Chats to keep the information hidden from anyone accessing their account, and is asking whether a setting can prevent the leak. If accurate, the lock appears to be a UI-level boundary rather than a memory-level one — and shouldn't be trusted for sensitive information.
