> welcome to negotiate this in enterprise contracts
I really hope you mean that in an insulting way to the industry and current legal situation, not as an actual solution.

It seems like some people seem to think that a chatbot should guarantee total privacy like a confession to a Catholic priest or something. That is ludicrous and unrealistic. It's a commercial service subject to terms and conditions. If you don't like it then don't use it.
Custom negotiation is a big difficulty for individuals and the pricing will probably have fixed overhead that becomes pretty ridiculous when it's not spread over a hundred or thousand users.

Much better advice. But still an obnoxious amount of effort and restriction to avoid spying.

I want it to have the same privacy as using a local program. Does it still sound ludicrous if I put it that way? I'm not talking to a person that would have to suppress their own conversations later, and there's no need for any data from this chat to escape into the outside world. It's like wanting a phone line where the phone company won't listen in; even if doing that is standard procedure and I can walk away it's still gross.
In the case that the company running this program for me is served a warrant, I accept that saved data would be shared. But proactively screening my data for a reason that isn't to help me is bad. We should fight to make that easier to avoid.
Also you're talking out both sides of your mouth when you say it's "ludicrous and unrealistic" right after telling me I can negotiate that exact feature in an enterprise contract.
> But a civil agreement can't bind a counterparty to conceal evidence of a crime.
Are you talking about a different scenario? In a chatbot situation, the crime of "threat" requires snooping to even be possible. If the data is private there is no crime to begin with.
People are confused at your take because it’s based on a reality that so far you’ve only described as the better/obvious option for individuals. Companies treat corp customers and individual customers differently. This isn’t new.
My company did negotiate the data policy amongst other things for our enterprise plan, I was involved in the process. I can say with certainty that they’re not picking up the phone for _one dude_ who wants the same thing.
