Stop ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini training on your chats
Three switches, about 30 seconds. Then clean up what ChatGPT remembers, and use a temporary chat for anything private.
Checked on 15 Oct 2026. Tools change fast, so the official page always wins if it says something different.
Step by step
ChatGPT
Tap your profile → Settings → Data controls → switch off Improve the model for everyone.
Claude
Settings → Privacy → switch off Help improve our AI models.
Gemini
Settings & help → Activity → turn off Keep Activity.
Check what ChatGPT remembers about you
Settings → Personalization → Memory. Delete anything you don't want it to keep.
Use a private chat for private stuff
ChatGPT temporary chats aren't used to train models. Claude has incognito chats that aren't used for training either.

The catch
- Thumbs up and thumbs down can still be used for training, even after you opt out. OpenAI and Anthropic both say this. Skip the feedback buttons on private chats.
- Temporary doesn't mean deleted straight away. ChatGPT keeps temporary chats for up to 30 days for safety.
- Gemini still keeps chats for up to 72 hours, even with Keep Activity off.
- Menus change. These labels were right on 15 Oct 2026. If you can't find one, look in the app's help pages.
- Never paste passwords or bank details into any AI chat.
