What data does AI collect about you when you use it?

AI tools collect different types of data depending on the service — your conversations, questions, usage patterns, and sometimes personal details you share. Most legitimate AI companies store this data to improve their services, but they should tell you what they collect and let you control it.

Every time you use AI, the company running that AI collects information. It might be your conversation history, the time you used it, what device you used it from, or personal details you typed in. They typically use this data to train the AI to get better and to understand how people use it. The key question is whether they're transparent about what they collect and whether you can see or delete your data.
