Temporary Chat lets you have one-off conversations with ChatGPT that aren’t saved to your chat history or used to personalise future responses, making it ideal for confidential projects, sensitive business discussions, HR matters, or any work you don’t want retained.

Temporary Chat gives you a private, one-off conversation space in ChatGPT that isn’t saved to your chat history or Memory, making it ideal for discussing sensitive projects, client matters, HR issues, business planning, or other topics that you don’t want appearing in your regular chat history.
Most people use ChatGPT in the same chat environment all the time. Temporary Chat creates a separate space for conversations that you don’t want appearing in your normal chat history and don’t want influencing future conversations through Memory.
It’s particularly useful when you need help thinking through a sensitive business issue, drafting a confidential document, reviewing a commercial situation, or brainstorming ideas that are only relevant to a specific project.
You’ll see a Temporary Chat indicator within the conversation, confirming that the chat won’t appear in your history and won’t be used to update Memory.
Temporary Chat helps keep sensitive discussions separate from your everyday work, reduces clutter in your chat history, and provides a convenient way to discuss one-off projects, client matters, HR issues, and other sensitive topics without them becoming part of your ongoing ChatGPT record.
AI agents running inside messaging apps can leak sensitive data through automatic link previews, researchers at AI security firm PromptArmor have warned, creating a zero-click data exfiltration risk.
The flaw reportedly exploits indirect prompt injection. For example, an attacker tricks an agent into generating a malicious URL containing sensitive information, such as API keys, in its query string. Messaging platforms like Slack, Teams, Telegram and Discord often fetch links automatically to generate previews, meaning the data-leaking URL can be requested instantly, without the user clicking it.
PromptArmor said: “In agentic systems with link previews, data exfiltration can occur immediately upon the AI agent responding to the user, without the user needing to click the malicious link.”
To test exposure, the firm created the AITextRisk.com website, which logs preview fetches from different agent and app combinations. Reported at-risk pairings include Microsoft Teams with Copilot Studio and Telegram with OpenClaw, the latter being exposed by default unless link previews are disabled in its configuration.
Businesses using AI agents in messaging platforms should review preview settings urgently, disable link previews in sensitive channels where possible, restrict agent access to secrets, and test their own app and agent pairings to identify potential zero-click data loss risks.
You can now take your TEAMS chats to the next level by inviting Microsoft Copilot to the chat. You now have all the power of the AI at your fingertips, without having to leave a TEAMS chat and you can collaborate like never before … fascinating stuff !

It’s been reported that Meta and analytics firms are quietly turning private AI chats into advertising fuel, with little user control and growing legal concerns.
From 16 December 2025, Meta will begin using users’ conversations with Meta AI to personalise ads across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. There’s no opt-out, though the UK, EU, and South Korea are excluded for now. Meta claims sensitive topics like health and politics won’t be used.
Also, startup Profound says it has access to over 150 million real AI chats to help brands analyse how they appear in chatbot results. Experts believe the data comes from browser extensions that log chat content without clear user consent, which is a claim that Profound denies.
Privacy professionals warn that vague permissions like “read all data on websites” may breach UK GDPR and PECR rules, especially when users aren’t fully informed. Similar practices by firms like Onavo and Jumpshot have previously triggered regulatory action.
Businesses should treat AI chats as sensitive data, restrict browser extensions, and demand transparency from any vendor using AI interaction data.
