Privacy at Chat.co

What you tell your AI
should stay yours.

Many free chatbots can keep what you type and use it to train their next model. Chat.co runs the same frontier AI inside a sealed AWS environment — under privacy terms that bar your conversations from ever being shared with the model makers or used for training.

Training data

Never shared with the model makers. Never used to train AI.

One way in, one way out — and no side door.

The problem

Free AI is rarely free.
You pay with your words.

Here is what typically happens to a conversation in a consumer chatbot on default settings — in plain English.

01

It gets stored

When you paste a contract, a patient note, or a client email into a free chatbot, a copy usually lives on the provider’s servers — sometimes for years, on terms that can change after the fact.

02

It can train the next model

Several major AI companies use consumer conversations to train future models by default — unless you find the setting and opt out. Your confidential text can become part of what the AI “knows.”

03

It can surface in court

AI chat logs are discoverable. Courts have already ordered a major provider to hand over millions of user conversations in litigation — and ruled that work done in a consumer AI tool may carry no legal privilege at all.

The record so far

“This isn’t hypothetical.”

Regulators, courts, and employers have been drawing the same conclusion for three years: confidential work does not belong in consumer AI tools.

    Samsung bans staff from consumer chatbots

    After engineers pasted confidential source code into ChatGPT, Samsung barred generative AI tools on company devices — one of many enterprises to do so.

  2. 2024

    The American Bar Association weighs in

    ABA Formal Opinion 512 put lawyers on notice: entering client information into generative AI tools without safeguards can violate the duty of confidentiality.

  3. 2025

    Training-by-default becomes the norm

    Major AI labs moved consumer accounts to data-sharing for model training by default, with multi-year retention — unless each user finds the toggle and opts out.

  4. 2026

    Courts order 20 million chats produced

    In January 2026, a federal court in New York affirmed orders requiring a major AI provider to hand plaintiffs a sample of 20 million consumer chat logs in litigation.

  5. 2026

    No privilege for consumer AI work

    In February 2026, a federal judge ruled that documents generated with consumer AI tools were not protected by attorney–client privilege or the work-product doctrine.

How Chat.co is different

Same frontier AI. Sealed environment.

You should not have to choose between the best models and keeping your work confidential. Chat.co gives you both — by changing where the AI runs and under whose rules.

The model comes to your data

Chat.co serves frontier models through AWS Bedrock: the AI runs inside Amazon’s secure data centers, in-region. Your prompts and files are processed there — the model companies never see your traffic.

No training. In writing.

Under AWS Bedrock’s terms, your inputs and the AI’s outputs are not shared with model providers and are not used to train or improve their models. That is a contractual commitment, not a settings toggle.

Enterprise-grade controls

AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, role-based access control, SSO, and GDPR & CCPA-aligned data handling. You can export or delete your data whenever you choose.

Who it’s for

Built for people who are bound to confidentiality.

If a rule, a license, or a duty stands behind your work, “the chatbot kept a copy” is not an acceptable answer. Chat.co is built for professions where privacy is not a preference — it’s an obligation.

Attorneys

You hold privilege for a living — and courts have ruled that work done in consumer AI tools may carry none. Draft, research, and pressure-test arguments in a workspace where client information is never retained by a model provider and never becomes training data.

CPAs & tax professionals

Disclosing tax return information without consent is not just an ethics issue — it can be a federal offense. Analyze client financials and draft memos without handing the numbers to a chatbot that stores them on someone else’s terms.

Physicians & healthcare teams

Consumer chatbots are not built for protected health information. Chat.co keeps clinical questions, protocols, and patient-adjacent work inside a sealed environment with access controls — instead of a free app that answers to no one.

Compensation data, investigations, and health accommodations are exactly the conversations that should never surface in someone else’s training set. Role-based access and domain restriction keep sensitive people-work contained.

Executives & boards

Strategy documents, M&A thinking, and unannounced numbers are one careless paste away from living on a consumer server — discoverable, and outside your control. Work through hard decisions with AI that keeps them confidential.

Side by side

Ask your chatbot these five questions.

“Typical free chatbot” below means a consumer AI app on its default settings. Paid enterprise tiers differ — and that is exactly the point: privacy should be the default, not an upgrade.
