The clause establishes the operational scope of data use for model development purposes and creates an opt-out mechanism that allows users to restrict a specific category of data processing while other uses of personal data may continue under the terms.
By default, user-generated content from ChatGPT and similar consumer services becomes part of the training dataset for OpenAI's AI models, unless the user affirmatively opts out through the designated data controls. The terms apply this data usage authorization as written upon continued use of the service.
