Teknologikk's Exposure Check
Publicly shared conversations from AI services became searchable and made headlines after CVs, job applications, company documents and access keys were found. Search for your organisation, email domain, customers, projects or products to see whether exposed conversations contain traces of you or your organisation.
This check is a warning light, not proof that everything is safe. No match only means we found nothing in the dataset currently loaded.
The results list shows short excerpts, and you can open the full conversation in redacted form. API keys, tokens, private keys, other authentication secrets, email local parts, phone numbers after the country code, share IDs, IP addresses and names in known fields are redacted before storage and once again before display. Raw, unredacted conversations and original share links are not stored by this service.
Why could shared AI conversations appear in search?
This was generally not a breach of private conversations. The problem arose when a share button created a public web page, the user understood the link as “only for the person I send it to”, and a search engine later discovered it through an open page, post or archive.
ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini describe share links as pages anyone with the link can read. Such links normally have no password, recipient list or expiry date.
Search engines discover URLs through links on other sites. If a public conversation page can be read and lacks an effective noindex control, it may become searchable.
Once others have shared, imported or archived the content, deleting the original does not necessarily remove copies. Treat a share link as publication from the first click.
