Summary

This is OpenAI's privacy policy for users outside the United States. It explains what data OpenAI collects, how it uses and shares that data, and what choices you have — including whether your content is used to train OpenAI's models. OpenAI does not sell your personal data or use it for targeted advertising, but administrators of a business or enterprise account you belong to can access your account and content.

Analysis

This document establishes OpenAI's data collection, usage, sharing, and retention practices for users outside the United States. It sets out that OpenAI collects user Content and publicly available internet data to develop its models, while granting users a choice over whether their Content is used for model training. OpenAI commits to not selling Personal Data or processing it for targeted or cross-contextual behavioral advertising, and to transferring Personal Data only through legally valid mechanisms. The document also defines the conditions under which Personal Data may be shared with government authorities, industry peers, corporate transaction counterparties, and enterprise account administrators, and acknowledges that ChatGPT's outputs are generated by predicting likely next words and may not always be factually accurate.

What this means for you

As an individual user, your Content is actively monitored by OpenAI for fraud prevention and security purposes, and your Personal Data is processed and stored on servers in multiple countries including the United States. If you belong to a ChatGPT Enterprise or business account, that account's administrators can access and control your account and Content. OpenAI does not sell your Personal Data or use it for targeted advertising. You have a stated choice over whether your Content is used to improve and train OpenAI's models — you can set that preference directly with OpenAI.
