An AI Tool Asked for My Personal Information

How to decide whether an AI tool actually needs personal information.

Short answer

Do not provide sensitive information simply because an AI tool asks for it. Ask whether the information is necessary, minimise what you share, and check the service's privacy information.

An AI tool asking for information does not automatically mean that it needs that information.

Avoid providing passwords, OTPs, financial credentials, identity documents, private keys, or confidential information unless there is a clear legitimate reason and appropriate protection.

Share the minimum information needed to accomplish the task.

Check the service's privacy information and available data controls before using it for sensitive material.
