What this means for you

OpenAI added disclosure of OpenAI Academy, a free learning platform with separate terms of use and code of conduct. The updated terms clarify that Academy use is not governed by OpenAI's standard business service agreement, even if accessed through a workspace account. If your email or account is associated with an organization, OpenAI may share your Academy activity (enrollment, engagement, progress, and completion status) with your organization's owners or administrators.

What you can do
