The clause establishes an opt-in default that protects business customer data from contributing to model training across a defined set of products and a specific time boundary.
The updated terms state that workspace admins 'can control' data retention rather than directly controlling it. This conditional phrasing may suggest that retention control is optional or contingent rather than a guaranteed capability. Enterprise customers relying on admin-driven data retention policies should clarify with OpenAI whether this change affects their ability to set specific retention timelines for workspace data.
View change record →The updated terms shift governance of conversation access and retention from end users to workspace administrators. Under the revised policy, workspace admins can now view, access, export, and delete any end user conversations within their workspace and control how long workspace data is retained. Additionally, OpenAI now reserves the right to retain deleted or unsaved conversations beyond the standard 30-day deletion window if retention is reasonably necessary to protect its services or any third party from harm, beyond prior language that limited retention extensions to legal requirements. Within an enterprise account, end users no longer have unilateral control over conversation visibility or deletion of their own conversations.
