What AI Knows: Protecting Your Privacy with AI Tools

Описание: When you use an AI tool, especially a free one, it's often collecting and using your data. This could be what you type into a chatbot, how you use the service, or other personal details.  

Why do they do this? Sometimes it’s to improve the AI itself, make the service more personal to you, or for advertising. While AI personalization can be helpful, it's built on your data, creating a tension with privacy that many users might not fully realize.  

Here are a few simple tips to be more privacy-aware:
First, try to glance at privacy policies. Look for what data is collected and how it's used.
Second, limit sharing highly sensitive information like bank details or your home address with AI tools unless absolutely necessary.
Third, if an AI tool offers a "private mode" or an option to "opt-out" of data training, consider using it.
Also, be mindful of app permissions – does that AI photo editor really need access to your contacts?.
Finally, if the tool allows, regularly delete your data or chat history.  

Being mindful of your digital footprint and taking active steps to manage your privacy is key to using AI tools more safely.
