In an update detected on July 26, 2026, OpenAI's API Data Usage Policy retained its existing language stating that data from ChatGPT Business, ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT for Healthcare, ChatGPT Edu, ChatGPT for Teachers, and the API Platform (after March 1, 2023) is not used for model training by default, unless users explicitly opt in to share data to improve services. The BEFORE and AFTER text are identical, indicating no operational change to the default data usage policy.
The updated terms do not alter the existing data usage policy. Data from ChatGPT Business, ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT for Healthcare, ChatGPT Edu, ChatGPT for Teachers, and the API Platform (after March 1, 2023) continues to be excluded from model training by default unless users explicitly opt in to share data to improve services. No change to consumer rights or data handling practices is reflected in this update.
This update confirms OpenAI's existing default data usage policy, providing assurance to enterprise and API users that their data is not automatically incorporated into model training. The confirmation preserves the established opt-in requirement and does not alter data governance or consent obligations for organizations with OpenAI in their vendor stack.
Confirmed unchanged: data from ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Healthcare, Edu, for Teachers, and API Platform is not used for training by default without explicit opt-in.
