5 privacy facts you should know before using ChatGPT
Before using ChatGPT, learn how your data is stored, reviewed, or deleted. Here are five key privacy facts every user should know.
1/5
ChatGPT conversations may be reviewed
According to OpenAI’s privacy policy, conversations can be reviewed by authorized personnel to monitor system performance, investigate misuse, and improve model behavior. These reviews are limited and anonymized, but users are advised not to share personally identifiable information, passwords, or confidential business data in chats.

Chat history can be turned off
Users can disable chat history in ChatGPT settings. When history is off, conversations are not used to train OpenAI’s models. However, they are stored securely for up to 30 days for abuse and misuse monitoring before being permanently deleted from OpenAI’s systems.

Data is used to improve model performance
By default, ChatGPT inputs and interactions may be used to train and refine OpenAI’s models. The company says this data is aggregated and stripped of identifiers. Enterprise and API users, however, have the option to opt out of data sharing by default.

ChatGPT cannot access private files or devices
ChatGPT does not have access to a user’s device, personal files, or emails unless explicitly uploaded or shared within a conversation. Uploaded files are processed in a controlled environment and are automatically deleted after a short retention period, according to OpenAI’s data handling policy.

Users can delete their data permanently
OpenAI allows users to delete their accounts and all associated data through account settings. 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.
