Prompts and uploads are processed by OpenAI; consumer settings affect model improvement.
THE DETAILS
These findings summarize published documents, not independently observed data practices.
OpenAI says you can turn off model improvement for ordinary personal chats, but Trusted Access sessions may still be used; Voice and Codex environment data have separate controls.
Read the sourceTurning off this setting covers ordinary chats, but some special sessions and other types of data follow different rules or settings.
OpenAI says deleted personal data is generally removed within 30 days, with exceptions including legal or security needs and content already de-identified and disassociated from your account.
Read the sourceDeleting a chat or account does not necessarily remove every related record immediately or erase data already separated from your identity.
Consumer terms say you retain rights in input and own output as between you and OpenAI, subject to applicable law; output may not be unique.
