We may share your Personal Data with third parties in the following circumstances: Vendors and Service Providers; Business Transfers; Legal Compliance; Affiliates; and with your consent. We may share information with third-party vendors and service providers that support our business, such as cloud hosting, customer service, analytics, fraud detection, and marketing.
Sharing data with marketing and analytics vendors creates risk that your data will be used for targeted advertising or profiling beyond what you agreed to when you signed up for ChatGPT.
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 — health queries, financial details, personal communications — 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'.
