Honest question:

Do these systems not share data with the AI servers? Or are they all local (on-site, not on-computer)?

I am totally baffled by the trust people put on these systems, sharing with them the most obviously private data.

Most services have privacy policies that boil down to:

- we promise not to share PII (defined as narrowly as possible)

- we promise not to share payment information except with our payment system

- if you pay us, we promise not to train LLMs on your data

- you agree that everything else can be used for any business purpose, including marketing, intelligence gathering, and "sharing with our 1735 trusted partners".

If you are in a trusted industry like finance or healthcare, the popular ones generally have industry wide privacy certification like HIPAA compliant, SOC 2 Type 2 etc.

The average person doesn't care about online privacy.
