Version history

The OpenAI Enterprise Privacy document had its title line repositioned in an update detected on September 4, 2026. The document's opening sentence remains substantively identical: OpenAI's commitments provide ownership and control over business data and support for compliance needs. This is a formatting change with no operational difference to the terms themselves.

No material change detected. The sentence describing data usage for model training remains identical in both versions. The policy continues to state 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 training unless users have explicitly opted in to share their data.

OpenAI modified two sentences in its Enterprise Privacy policy as detected on July 18, 2026. The first change was purely formatting, moving the title 'Enterprise privacy at OpenAI' to appear before the 'Updated' date. The second change altered the language describing workspace admin control over data retention, replacing 'Your workspace admins control how long your workspace data is retained' with 'Your workspace admins can control how long your data is retained.' The shift from 'control' to 'can control' introduces conditional language that may permit admins to retain data without explicit time limits, whereas the previous phrasing stated admins directly exercise retention control.

OpenAI updated its Enterprise Privacy policy on July 1, 2026 with four minor formatting adjustments to hyperlink syntax and spacing in the document. These changes affect how hyperlinks to the DPA form, Student Data Privacy Agreement, and ChatGPT Business information page are technically rendered but do not alter the substantive commitments, data handling practices, or privacy protections described in the policy.

OpenAI updated three sentences in their Enterprise Privacy policy on June 1, 2026, removing spacing characters around hyperlinks in language describing Data Processing Agreements, Student Data Privacy Agreements for ChatGPT Edu and Teachers, and ChatGPT Business information. The changes are formatting adjustments to how hyperlinked references appear in the document text. No changes to substantive privacy terms, rights, obligations, or data handling practices were made.

OpenAI updated its Enterprise Privacy terms on May 28, 2026 to expand workspace admin authority over end user conversations. Previously, only end users could view their own conversations, and end users controlled retention decisions. The updated terms state that workspace admins can now view, access, export, and delete end user conversations, and admins control retention duration. Additionally, OpenAI broadened its deletion exception to permit longer retention not only when legally required, but also when reasonably necessary to protect its services or third parties from harm.

OpenAI updated formatting in its Enterprise Privacy document on May 22, 2026 by modifying spacing around hyperlinks in three sentences. The changes involve adjusting whitespace before the opening parentheses in links to the DPA form, Student Data Privacy Agreement, and ChatGPT Business information pages. These are editorial formatting adjustments with no operational change to the substantive terms, obligations, or disclosures.
