Data Export and Portability

Why it matters

Data portability rights empower users to understand what data OpenAI holds and to move or preserve that data independently, which is particularly important given the breadth of data collected.

Consumer impact

OpenAI collects a wide range of personal data including your conversation content, uploaded files, device information, and usage patterns, which may be used to train AI models. Third-party service providers and affiliates may receive your data, and cross-border transfers occur for international users. You can opt out of having your conversations used for model training by going to Settings > Data Controls in your ChatGPT account.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Log into your ChatGPT account, go to Settings, select Data Controls, and click 'Export Data' to receive a downloadable copy of your conversation history and account data.
