Even without creating an account, your device details and approximate location are collected passively, which means some data collection occurs before any explicit consent.
The policy states that OpenAI collects content users submit, including conversations, uploaded files, images, audio, and video, and may use that content to train AI models. Data may also be shared with third-party API operators, vendors, affiliates, and in connection with business transactions such as mergers or asset sales, meaning user data could be transferred to entities with different privacy practices. You can opt out of having your content used to train AI models by navigating to Settings, then Data Controls in your ChatGPT account, and disabling the 'Improve the model for everyone' option.
