OpenAI has recently introduced a new feature for ChatGPT users that allows them to store their chat history without their data being utilized for training purposes, ensuring enhanced privacy. This update comes after previous concerns regarding data usage and privacy.
Previously, ChatGPT users had to agree to OpenAI’s data usage terms for training in order to retain their chat history. However, with the recent development, users now have the option to store their chat history without compromising their privacy.
In response to privacy concerns, OpenAI had offered the option to disable chat history in ChatGPT last year, following debates and actions taken by the Italian government due to data collection allegations. The latest update now enables users to access their chat history regardless of whether they opt-in for training model improvement.
Users can navigate to their profile settings to toggle off the Improve the model for everyone option if they prefer to keep their data private. OpenAI assures users that their data will not be used for training purposes, ensuring their privacy is protected.
Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT has made significant advancements, transitioning to GPT-4 and enhancing its awareness, response quality, and memory capabilities exclusively for paying users. These updates demonstrate OpenAI’s commitment to improving user experience while safeguarding privacy.
