Incogni Ranks 13 AI Platforms on Privacy Risk, Putting Copilot Last and Vibe First

Summary
Incogni’s 2026 study scored 13 generative AI platforms on consumer privacy risk and found bigger platforms generally posed higher risks, with ChatGPT the main exception.
Vibe ranked safest, followed by ChatGPT and Pi, while Copilot ranked worst after Meta and Kimi; Gemini, Claude and Grok also landed in the higher-risk half.
The ranking weighed 3 areas: how user data is collected and shared, whether prompts feed model training and can be opted out of, and how clear privacy policies are.
Copilot was flagged for sharing data with third-party advertisers and buying data from brokers, while Meta was labeled the most data-hungry and Gemini criticized for relying on broad Google privacy terms.
No platform lets users remove data once it has trained a model, Incogni said, reinforcing advice to avoid entering passwords, financial records, medical data or confidential work information.
