ZDNET Lists 4 Chatbot Privacy Fixes After Claude Link Exposure
3 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jul 31
Summary
ZDNET published a privacy guide after shared Claude chats were found accessible through a Google dork, spotlighting how public links can expose AI conversations beyond their intended audience.
4 major chatbots—ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Claude—offer ways to limit exposure, including temporary or incognito chats, deleting histories, revoking shared links and disabling memory features.
Training controls vary sharply: ChatGPT, Copilot and Claude let users switch off model-improvement settings, while Gemini ties opting out more tightly to turning off activity storage and chat history.
The guide also warns that extra features can widen data access, including Gemini Live audio review, Copilot connectors to services like OneDrive and Gmail, and persistent public-share links unless manually removed.
