We do not train our models on your business data by default
By default, we do not use your business data for training our models. If you have explicitly opted in to share your data with us (for example, through our opt-in feedback mechanisms) to improve our services, then we may use the shared data to train our models.
Connectors enable ChatGPT to send and retrieve information from connected internal sources and third-party applications, including to help provide more context for its responses. Your workspace admins can control which connectors are enabled for your workspace. ChatGPT respects your organization's existing permissions, and each end user is required to authenticate with a connected application before use. We do not train our models on any business data accessed from connectors. Learn more about connectors.
Yes, you can adapt certain models to specific tasks by fine-tuning them with your own prompt-completion pairs. Your fine-tuned models are for your use alone and never served to or shared with other customers or used to train other models. Data submitted to fine-tune a model is retained until the customer deletes the files.
OpenAI trains its models in two stages. First, we learn from a large amount of data. Then, we use data from ChatGPT users and human trainers to make sure the outputs are safe and accurate and to improve their general capabilities. Learn more about our training process.
OpenAI uses data from different places including public sources, licensed third-party data, and information created by human reviewers. We also use data from versions of ChatGPT and DALL·E for individuals. By default, business data from ChatGPT Business, ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and the API Platform (after March 1, 2023) isn't used for training our models, unless you have explicitly opted in to share your data with us to improve the services.
