Added: When you use our services for individuals (Free, Plus, Pro) , we may use your content to train our models. You can choose whether your conversations help improve our models. To opt out, turn off Improve the model for everyone under Settings > Data controls in ChatGPT, or select Do not train on my content in our Privacy Portal .
Removed: When you use our services for individuals, such as ChatGPT and Codex, we may use your content to train our models. You can choose whether your conversations help improve our models. To opt out, turn off Improve the model for everyone under Settings > Data controls in ChatGPT, or select Do not train on my content in our Privacy Portal .
Added: For individual plans (Free, Plus, and Pro), if you submit feedback on a response-for example, by selecting thumbs up or thumbs down-we may use the entire conversation associated with that feedback to improve our models, even if you have opted out of model training.
Added: For ChatGPT Business, ChatGPT Enterprise, and ChatGPT Edu, OpenAI does not use prompts, responses, or files to improve its models unless the organization has signed a separate agreement allowing it. Specifically, response feedback (submitting thumbs up or thumbs down) does not permit training on the associated conversation. Workspace admins can enable or disable response feedback by navigating to Workspace settings > Allow response feedback in the Admin Console.
Removed: If you proactively choose to submit feedback, such as by selecting thumbs up or thumbs down on a response, the entire conversation associated with that feedback may be used to improve our models, even if you've opted out.
