Chatbot Data Leakage Checklist

What you paste doesn't just disappear.

A common and growing incident pattern involves employees uploading customer data, source code, financial figures, or legal documents into third-party AI platforms without fully understanding how that data is stored, accessed, retained, or potentially reused for model training. Standard cyber insurance policies increasingly include AI exclusions specifically for this scenario — meaning a breach caused by an employee pasting proprietary information into an unauthorized AI tool may not be covered. This checklist audits your own chatbot usage against the highest-risk data categories before an accidental disclosure becomes a real incident.
