FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What makes an AI tool privacy focused?
Useful signals include local processing, optional telemetry, clear retention controls, encryption and transparent data policies. No single badge guarantees complete privacy.
Should I upload confidential documents to AI tools?
Only after checking your organization rules and the provider's current data terms. For highly sensitive work, prefer approved local tools and minimize the data you provide.
