The retention and use of flagged content by sub-processors is double-limited: by time (review period only) and by purpose (assisting OpenAI's review only), constraining how sub-processors can handle that content.
Sub-processors that receive samples of your flagged content may only keep those samples during the review period and may only use them to assist OpenAI's review.
How other platforms handle this
At the end of the retention period, personal information will be deleted, destroyed, or deidentified.
We will promptly destroy personal information at the end of the retention period, as described above. When we destroy personal information, we do so in a way that prevents that information from being restored or reconstructed.
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as we need it to provide you with access to our Services or to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected...
"Sharing with the Sub-processor platform only occurs when content is flagged, the Sub-processor platform only retains samples of content for the period of review, and OpenAI's Sub-processors only process the content to assist OpenAI in its review.Excerpt from OpenAI's Sub-Processor List
