What specific data does Grok collect from users


Grok AI collects several types of data from users, primarily for training and improving its AI model. Here are the specifics:

- User Inputs and Outputs: Grok collects personal information included in user prompts or inputs, as well as the outputs generated by the AI in response to these inputs. This includes text, photos, images, and other materials submitted to the service[2].

- Feedback Data: Grok collects feedback from users, such as ratings (thumbs-up/thumbs-down) and comments on the accuracy of its responses[2].

- Technical Usage Data: This includes device information like IP address, device type, browser type, and operating system. It also encompasses usage data such as pages viewed, visit duration, browsing history, and search history[2].

- X Platform Data: Grok uses public posts from the X platform to provide real-time information and insights. Users are automatically opted-in to share their X data with Grok, which can be used for training and fine-tuning the AI model[1][3][5].

- Interactions and Results: Grok collects user interactions with the AI, including inputs and results, to enhance its understanding of human language and improve its performance[5].

These practices have raised privacy concerns, particularly regarding default consent settings that may violate GDPR and other privacy regulations[1][3][7].
