Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 13. If you believe we have collected Personal Data from a child under 13, please contact us and we will promptly delete the information.
Without robust age verification mechanisms, children under 13 may access ChatGPT and have their data collected in violation of COPPA, creating legal and safety risks.
OpenAI collects extensive personal data including conversation content, audio and image inputs, device identifiers, location data, and usage logs across all its services, and may use this data to train AI models unless users opt out. This creates a meaningful privacy risk because sensitive information shared in conversations β health queries, financial details, personal communications β could indirectly influence model outputs. You can opt out of conversation data being used for AI training by navigating to Settings > Data Controls in your ChatGPT account and disabling 'Improve the model for everyone'.
