OpenAI's Terms of Use affect consumers primarily through data use provisions that permit OpenAI to use the content you submit — including prompts, conversations, and uploaded files — to improve and train its AI models. This creates a meaningful privacy consideration, particularly for users who share sensitive personal, professional, or business information with ChatGPT or other OpenAI products. You can opt out of having your data used for model training by navigating to your ChatGPT account settings and disabling the 'Improve the model for everyone' toggle under Data Controls.
