Before you upload sensitive data
Check this tool's data terms first. Enterprise and business tiers of the major AI tools do not train on what you upload; free tiers sometimes do. Keep tenant records, signed leases, and investor personal data on an account with a business agreement, and treat AI-generated images or audio as marketing assets, not official records.
