AI tools are safe to use if you treat them like email: don't paste anything you wouldn't want stored on someone else's server.
Step by step
- Strip sensitive details
Remove Social Security numbers, bank details, birthdates and loan numbers before pasting.
- Use initials
"Buyer J.S." works just as well as a full name for drafting.
- Check the settings
Paid business plans (ChatGPT Business, Claude for teams, Google Workspace) offer stronger data controls. Review your plan's privacy settings.
- Follow brokerage policy
Ask whether your brokerage has an approved AI tool list.
- Be careful with recordings
Get consent before recording calls with tools like Otter or Fathom.

Good to know

- Recording-consent laws vary by state and province.
