Several services offer access to AI models without requiring user registration, but true privacy depends on data handling rather than just login requirements. Duck.ai stands out by detailing its privacy mechanisms, including IP address removal before data is sent to models from providers like Anthropic and OpenAI, with a commitment to delete data within 30 days and not use it for training. In contrast, model comparison arenas like arena.ai, while accessible without login, explicitly reserve the right to publish user data, including IP addresses and conversation content. The ongoing legal case between The New York Times and OpenAI, where OpenAI was ordered to provide de-identified user conversations, highlights the complexities and potential vulnerabilities in user data handling, even for services that claim to protect privacy.
