Key notes

If you’ll ever have conversations withBing Chatwhere the information that you shared with the AI tool is sensitive, or private,Bing Chatwon’t save it, apparently. As spotted by Windows enthusiast,@Leopeva64, Bing Chat will release a prompt telling users that it will not save the conversation previously had with it.

Let’s not save this conversation. The answer to your question may contain info that’s not public. To protect your privacy, we’re not saving it. Chat history so far has been saved.

The tool will give you the option to agree, by allowing you to click on aGot itbutton.

So what does it mean? Well, private information is information protected by law, which can become a criminal act if it is shared. This is everything from your personal information, such as ID credentials, to passwords, and card information.

It makes sense that Bing wouldn’t save such data, as it can be quite risky if your device were to be hacked. But it’s a bit surprising: it can recognize your personal data.

Not saving it, yes, that the right thing to do, however recognizing it, means thatMicrosoft could potentially have an insightinto information that should remain private.

What do you make of this? Let us know in the comments section below.
