ChatGPT - Protect Your Data
Here are four ChatGPT settings you need to change immediately if you care about protecting your data.
Go to your Profile section (bottom left corner where your name is).
And then Data Controls.
Make sure that "Improve the model for everyone" and the remaining are turned off.
Then go over to Personalizations.
Click on Saved Memories and analyze and delete ones you don't want to be shared in public.
And you can also turn on Temporary Chat (top right corner) for conversations that don't add to your chat history or to train the model.
ChatGPT now has a cheaper tier for $8 per month (US) for GPT5.2
What do you get?
Access to GPT-5.2 Instant
10x more messages than the free version
Longer memory so it remembers you better
File uploads and image creation
You don’t need Plus or Pro if you’re using AI for everyday stuff—studying, writing emails, creating images or organizing your life.
Exactly what people asked for: more power, lower price.
Here’s how it compares:
Free tier: limited messages, fewer features
Go: $8/month for GPT-5.2 Instant
Plus: $20/month for GPT-5.2 Thinking & more memory
Pro: $200/month for AI developers and heavy use
They’re even testing ads in the free and Go version to keep it affordable. This makes real AI way more accessible.
