Do humans review Grok conversations

xAI’s Consumer FAQ answers this directly under Do humans view my conversations? Automated classifiers and safety tools scan how the service is used and whether Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy are being broken. Separately, a limited number of authorized personnel may review conversations for specific business purposes: improving model performance, investigating security incidents and potential misuse, and complying with legal obligations. The FAQ points to the Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy for the full picture.

What you control

1. Turn off Improve the model under Settings → Data Controls (mobile) or Settings → Data (grok.com) so new chats are not used for training. Feedback you later submit may still be used.
2. Use Private Chat when you want that conversation out of your history and out of model training. Private Chat content is deleted from systems within about 30 days unless a safety, security, or legal hold applies.
3. Delete individual chats or all conversations from Data Controls / Settings. Deleted conversations are removed from systems within about 30 days unless a legal, safety, or compliance hold applies.
4. For a broader data access or download request, use Settings / Data Controls or the privacy portal linked from the legal FAQ.

Training opt-out, Private Chat, and deletion steps are covered in Control Grok training, X personalization, chats, and account deletion.

How far review goes

Authorized review is limited and purpose-bound in the FAQ. Most chats stay with the automated classifiers. When safety, security, misuse, or legal duties apply, authorized personnel may still read the conversation.

Pitfalls

• Opting out of training does not erase the authorized-review path for security, misuse, or legal obligations.
• Grok inside X follows X’s Help Center and terms for that surface; the Consumer FAQ on this page covers the Grok apps and grok.com.
• Shared conversation links stay reachable until you remove them at grok.com/share-links.
