AI Assistant Privacy Settings
AI assistants and features are now built into phones, browsers, and the apps you already use, often with your conversations or content eligible for training unless you turn it off. This is every AI training opt-out in one place: one guide per assistant, covering what is collected by default, what you can turn off, and what stays on no matter what.
