Do you regularly use chatgpt or deep chat? Then it is important that you never share certain information with the chatbots. You need to know this!
Use of chatgpt and deep cleft
In recent years, chatbots such as Chatgpt have gained enormous popularity. Recently, Deepseek can also be used, which works as a chatgpt in a similar way. You can ask or enter assignments with these chatbots, but you have to be careful what information you enter. You do not know where this data will end up and what they will be used for. Therefore, never share these four things with a chatbot!
1. Personal data
It is important that you never enter personal data with chatbots such as Chatgpt and Deepseek. When asking questions, do not use your full name, address, telephone number or other reliable information. The same applies to your e-mail, it is better not to enter it with the chatbots. Often you have already used the e-mail address when creating an account, but it will not be used for training language models.
That applies to the information you enter at Chatgpt and Deepseek. All assignments or questions you enter at Chatbots are used to expand language models. The disadvantage is that you do not know exactly where this information ends up. So keep personal data private, so that you are sure that they are not being used for wrong purposes. That is also the advice for medical information, such as your insurance number or other health data.
2. Financial data
Just like personal information, it is advisable to keep financial data for yourself. Think of your pin code, bank account number, credit card details or other sensitive information. It is possible to ask financial advice from chatbots such as Chatgpt and Deepseek, but do this without entering personal information about your finances.
Do you do this? Then you run the chance that the shared information will be abused. There is little chance that the companies will do this behind Chatgpt or Deepseek, but they can be involved in a data breach or large -scale digital attack. In that case, data that was once entered at Chatbots will be on the street, so make sure that your financial data is not included.
3. Passwords
The same applies to the passwords of all your accounts. It is important that you never enter your passwords or other login data with chatbots such as chatgpt or deep chat. So do not use these chatbots as a help or storage place for all passwords from different accounts. It is best to enter this in Apple’s special password app so that they are well protected.
If you enter your login details with chatbots such as chatgpt or deep chat, there is a greater chance that they will be involved in a data breach. In that case you run the risk that malicious people abuse your shared passwords. Hackers will then gain access to the accounts for which you have shared the login details. Do you want to prevent this? Then never share your passwords or usernames with the chatbots.
4. Other confidential information
Also beware of sharing other confidential information, such as sensitive company data or files. For almost all private or work data, it is advisable not to enter it with chatbots such as Chatgpt or Deepseek. So do not use them to summarize long documents with sensitive information, or to ask for help. That way you know for sure that the data will not be in the wrong hands.
At several companies, a special and in some cases protected variant of chatgpt has been developed. In that case it is possible to share certain information with the chatbot, but check that well in advance. Are you in doubt? Then it is advisable to first check whether it is indeed a shielded version of the chatbot. In that case, the information is not used for training the language models behind Chatgpt (or Deepseek).
This is how you use chatgpt and deep chat
So there is a lot of information that you should not enter at Chatgpt and Deepseek, but there are also many things that are useful for these chatbots. Think of drawing up a shopping list, asking to put all the ingredients for certain recipes among each other. Are you going on vacation? Then these chatbots lend themselves perfectly to explaining the highlights of your destination for you.
With Chatgpt or Deepseek you have a handy help with it, provided you use the chatbots responsibly. Incidentally, it does not matter which chatbot it is, in all cases it is not exactly clear where your data ends up. In any case, it is certainly that with both Chatgpt and Deepseek your information is used for training language models. So keep this in mind if you use these chatbots so that you prevent personal information from becoming public.
