We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Vague retention language means your conversation history and personal data could be held indefinitely without a clear deletion timeline, limiting your ability to predict when data will be removed.
OpenAI collects your chat inputs and outputs, usage data, device identifiers, and location information when you use ChatGPT or other OpenAI services, and may use this data to train its AI models. Human employees may also review your conversations for safety and quality purposes, meaning your chats are not entirely private. You can opt out of having your data used for AI model training by submitting a request at privacy.openai.com/data-controls.
