Uploaded files are processed in a controlled environment and are automatically deleted after a short retention period, according to OpenAI’s data handling policy.

Once deletion is confirmed, chat history and user data are permanently removed from OpenAI’s systems, with no option for recovery. This ensures compliance with global data protection standards like GDPR.
