Data is shared outside OpenAI, but the scope is strictly limited to abuse and misuse review and contractors are bound by confidentiality and security obligations.
Interpretive note: The excerpt is a fragment without a governing verb, so the precise triggering condition for contractor access is not established by this clause alone. The primary proposition — limited-purpose, obligation-bound third-party access — is clearly stated.
The updated terms establish that workspace admins, rather than individual end users, control how long workspace conversation data is retained and authorize admins to view, access, export, and delete end user conversations. Previously, the policy stated that each user controlled whether their conversations were retained and that only end users could view their own conversations. The revised terms also permit OpenAI to retain deleted or unsaved conversations beyond the standard 30-day deletion window if retention is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect OpenAI's services or third parties from harm. Workspace users should review their organization's data governance policies to understand what access and retention practices their admins have implemented.
