A free starting point, not a safety certificate
The 10-Point AI Safety Checklist is intended as a short printable reminder for people beginning to review their AI habits. It is free and does not require a payment or mandatory email registration. The product specification describes a three-page original PDF; it will only be offered for download once the actual file is uploaded and validated. No empty substitute is presented as the guide. A checklist helps you remember important decisions, but completing it does not guarantee that every account is private or every scam can be detected. Use it alongside the current guidance of the providers you use. If you manage business data or have a safeguarding concern, a general personal checklist does not replace the relevant organisational process or professional support.
Start with information and account identity
Before changing settings, confirm the account and service you are using. A personal account may not have the same arrangements as a work or school account. Then consider what information you share. Passwords, recovery codes, identity documents and unnecessary records about other people do not belong in routine prompts. Many tasks work with fictional names and a simplified example. Check the complete screenshot or attachment, not just the sentence you want help with. This first pause is useful regardless of the provider. Privacy settings can influence certain handling, but they do not make every upload appropriate. The free resource article on what not to share gives practical examples you can use to discuss the habit with another person.
Review separate privacy controls
Training preferences, conversation history, memory and connected applications should be reviewed separately. A switch affecting model improvement does not necessarily remove a remembered fact or revoke access to email. Labels and availability can change across plans and product versions, so check official provider pages for the account you use. Remove connections no longer needed and consider the permissions in the original service too. If you delete a chat containing an exposed credential, change the credential rather than assuming deletion restores secrecy. The checklist is intended to remind you of those categories without pretending that one universal private mode exists. More detailed provider-focused guidance is available in the resource centre and the Personal Data guide if you want a structured printable audit.
Verification before urgent action
A familiar voice or face is not sufficient authority for an unexpected payment or secret request. AI-assisted impersonation is one possible method, but ordinary fraud can use the same pressure. End the interaction and contact the person or organisation through a route you already trust. Do not rely on a number or link supplied by the suspicious message. Family members can agree a supportive verification routine, while businesses need clear procedures for changed bank details and unusual payments. The checklist is intended to make that pause easier to remember. It does not promise to identify every deepfake. If an incident has already happened, contact the bank, platform or appropriate reporting service through official channels and seek qualified help according to the situation.
Choose the next resource for your actual need
The free checklist is deliberately a smaller starting point. The Playbook gives broader personal privacy and scam coverage. The Parents guide supports family rules, chatbot conversations and a printable agreement. The Small Business guide adds staff-policy, supplier and response questions. The Personal Data guide concentrates on account auditing and redaction. The complete library combines the four paid documents for people who need several scopes, but there is no obligation to buy after using a free resource. No newsletter subscription is required for the checklist, and downloading does not add you to a marketing list. BMR Digital’s material is independent education, without provider affiliation or official certification. Continue to check current sources whenever a new feature changes your information-sharing decisions.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an official provider guide?
No. BMR Digital publishes independent educational material without affiliation, certification or endorsement from OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or Anthropic.
Will the guide make every AI conversation safe?
No. Settings and terms vary, mistakes and scams remain possible, and no guide guarantees complete safety. Use current official sources and appropriate professional help.
Do I receive a printed book?
No. These are digital PDF downloads. You can save and print the original uploaded documents for your own use.
Can I download without creating an account?
The free checklist needs no account or mandatory email. Verified purchasers use a private order access link for repeat downloads, without a full customer account.
What if my file does not arrive or is faulty?
Use the private order support route or the existing contact form with your order reference. Statutory consumer rights for faulty or misdescribed content are not removed by downloading.
Are changing settings a legal compliance guarantee?
No. Business templates must be adapted, and current data-protection guidance and qualified advice may be needed for your actual use.
Digital PDF download — no physical product
This purchase is for the stated digital PDF content, not a printed book, subscription, consultation or ongoing security service. A genuine preview is taken from the first page of the uploaded guide rather than an invented cover. The page count is checked against the supplied product specification before availability is enabled. You can save the original file and print it for your own use. Device PDF viewers vary, so ensure that your phone or computer can open a standard PDF before relying on it during an urgent task. If a file is missing or does not open properly, contact BMR Digital through the existing enquiry form or the private order support route. Include an order reference where you have one, but never send passwords or full card details.
Payment, immediate supply and your rights
Paid access is granted only after a completed PayPal capture has been checked for the correct order, receiving merchant, GBP currency and server-calculated amount. Failed, cancelled, pending or unverified payments do not provide files. Before payment, immediate supply requires your express consent and acknowledgement that the 14-day cancellation right is lost once supply begins under the applicable digital-content rules. That acknowledgement does not remove statutory remedies for faulty or misdescribed content. BMR Digital does not automatically deny a lawful refund merely because a file has been downloaded. Review the checkout confirmation and contact the business if the content or delivery does not match what you purchased. Live payments remain unavailable until the owner has completed testing and explicitly authorised launch.
Independent guidance and changing products
BMR Digital publishes independent educational material and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or Anthropic. Provider names identify the services discussed, not a certification or partnership. Features, account plans and privacy wording can change. Use the official source links in the resource centre to confirm the current position for your account. No guide guarantees complete safety, prevents every scam or automatically makes a UK business compliant. Do not substitute a generated answer or a printable template for qualified medical, legal, financial, security or safeguarding help where needed. The useful outcome is a clearer routine: share less unnecessary information, review permissions, verify unusual requests and keep a responsible person involved in decisions that affect real people.
