The OpenAI ChatGPT app on macOS is not sandboxed and stores all the conversations in **plain-text** in a non-protected location:

~/Library/Application\ Support/com.openai.chat/conversations-{uuid}/

So basically any other running app / process / malware can read all your ChatGPT conversations without any permission prompt:

@pvieito well, your email files are probably stored the same way... no need to say that chat gtp conversations are not important, unless the user is an complete idiot and mention sensitive info.
