Privacy that puts you in control

Whether you’re chatting, creating, or browsing, you’re in control of your data. We build our products and systems to protect your information, with easy-to-use settings that give you choice.

Making it easy for you to be in control of your data

ChatGPT mobile screen showing a temporary chat notice with a privacy icon on a blue gradient background.
Mobile settings panel labeled “Data controls” showing three toggles—Improve the model for everyone, Include audio recordings, and Include video recordings—each switched on, over a soft blue-pink gradient background.
Mobile “Memory” settings panel showing options to manage memories, reference saved memories, and reference chat history, with both toggles switched on, against a soft blue-pink gradient background.
Zillow connection card in ChatGPT showing the Zillow logo, a short description about finding homes to rent or buy, and a “Disconnect” button on a blue-pink gradient background.
Mobile settings screen showing data management options—Archive all chats, Delete all chats, Export data, and Delete account—below a toggle for including video recordings, against a pastel blue-pink gradient background.
Centered card prompting the user to add a passkey, explaining that passkeys are more secure than passwords, with a “Create a passkey” button, displayed on a soft pink and blue gradient background.

Sometimes you want to ask something sensitive that you don’t want saved. With temporary chats, your conversations are automatically deleted, don’t inform your ChatGPT memory, and aren’t used to train our models. You can easily start one anytime by tapping the temporary chat icon.

You’re in control as you browse with ChatGPT Atlas

ChatGPT Atlas helps you explore the web with ChatGPT. You’re in control of what ChatGPT can see and remember as you browse. By default, we don’t use your browsing to train our models. You can always clear specific pages, clear your entire browsing history, or open an incognito window to temporarily log out of ChatGPT.

Sora icon

Create in Sora, share on your terms

With Sora, you can turn your ideas into hyperreal videos—and you’re always in charge of your creations. You choose what’s shown in the Explore feed and whether your videos are used to train the model. When you create a character so your likeness can appear in Sora videos, you choose who can use it (e.g., only you, people you approve, or broader access), how you appear, and review drafts that include you.

Privacy, designed into every layer

We build privacy protections into how our models are trained, how our products work, and how our teams operate.

Privacy icon

We review every launch with privacy in mind

We build privacy safeguards into our models and every feature, from design to launch to post-launch monitoring.

User lock icon

We reduce the amount of personal information used to train our models and make the product work

Our models are built to learn about the world, not about private individuals. We don’t seek out personal information, we don’t build profiles from public data, and we work to identify and remove personal identifiers from training sets wherever possible.

Brain icon

Our models are trained to avoid private or sensitive information

We actively train our models to decline when asked for private information about real people—like addresses or contact information. We continuously test and update these safeguards so the models get better over time.
