COLM 2024 · First arXiv submission

Studies the tasks and contexts in which people disclose personal or sensitive information to chatbots. It combines automated PII detection with task and sensitive-topic taxonomies, releasing annotations that support analyses beyond conventional identifiers.

Data used

A 5,000-conversation English sample from the one-million-conversation WildChat corpus, limited to one conversation per hashed IP with additional prefix and length filters.

Findings

Sensitive disclosures in the analyzed sample include preferences, personal habits, and application-related information that conventional PII detectors miss.

Section 2: sampling. Sections 3–4: detected identifiers and sensitive topics. Read the source.
