As noted above, we may use Content you provide us to improve our Services, for example to train the models that power ChatGPT. Read our instructions on how you can opt out of our use of your Content to train our models.
For information on how to exercise your rights with respect to data we have collected from the internet to train our models, please see this notice.
Where necessary for our legitimate interests and those of third parties and broader society, including in developing, improving, or promoting our Services, such as when we train and improve our models. See here for more information.
Learn more about how OpenAI uses content from our services to improve and train our models.
One of the most useful and promising features of AI models is that they can improve over time. We continuously improve our models through research breakthroughs as well as exposure to real-world problems and data. When you share your content with us, it helps our models become more accurate and better at solving your specific problems and it also helps improve their general capabilities and safety. We don't use your content to market our services or create advertising profiles of you—we use it to make our models more helpful. ChatGPT, for instance, improves by further training on the conversations people have with it, unless you opt out.
When you use our services for individuals such as ChatGPT, Sora, or Operator, we may use your content to train our models.
You can opt out of training through our privacy portal by clicking on "do not train on my content." To turn off training for your ChatGPT and Operator conversations, follow the instructions in our Data Controls FAQ. Once you opt out, new conversations will not be used to train our models.
When you use ChatGPT, you can also use Temporary Chat from the dropdown. Chats from Temporary Chat won't appear in history, use or create memories, or be used to train our models.
Sora has separate controls, and you can similarly turn off training in the Sora Settings menu. Additionally, if you opt out of training through our privacy portal, this will apply to Sora too. (Note that adjusting your settings in the ChatGPT interface will not affect your Sora settings, however.)
We retain certain data from your interactions with us, but we take steps to reduce the amount of personal information in our training datasets before they are used to improve and train our models. This data helps us better understand user needs and preferences, allowing our model to become more efficient over time.

As noted above, we may use Content you provide us to improve our Services, for example to train the models that power ChatGPT. Read our instructions on how you can opt out of our use of your Content to train our models.
You can easily choose whether your Content can be used to improve and train our models.
If you enable Temporary Chat in ChatGPT, those conversations with ChatGPT will not appear in your history or be used to improve OpenAI's models.
For information on how to exercise your rights with respect to data we have collected from the internet to train our models, please see this notice.
If training is enabled (see your data controls here) or if you provide feedback, we use the content you share with us to help our models become more accurate and better at solving your specific problems and help improve their general capabilities and safety.
We use publicly available content that is freely and openly accessible on the internet, as well as data from third-party partners, to train our models.
Where necessary for our legitimate interests and those of third parties and broader society, including in developing and improving our Services, such as when we train and improve our models for everyone. See here for more information.
