AI and Privacy at Work: What Employees Should Know
Pasting work data into a public chatbot can leak information. A few rules keep you safe.
Check the policy first
Ask which tools are approved and what data is allowed.
Never paste
Some data should stay out.
- Customer personal data.
- Source code under NDA.
- Financial results not yet public.
- Passwords.
Use business accounts
Work plans often offer stronger privacy controls than free personal accounts.
If you made a mistake
Report quickly.
- Delete the chat.
- Tell your security team.
- Learn from it.
Key takeaway: Follow your company policy, keep confidential data out of public chatbots and report mistakes fast.
