ALTERNATIVELY:

You can go to this website, and click on the button in the upper right that says “Make a Privacy Request”

Note that Enterprise ChatGPT has privacy enabled by default.

“You can access the privacy portal for ChatGPT services by visiting OpenAI’s Privacy Policy page. This page provides information on how your data is handled, including collection, usage, and your rights regarding your information. If you’re looking for specific privacy settings or options to manage your data, they are generally outlined in the policy itself or via account settings within the OpenAI platform.”

Here you can also Request a copy of the data, delete your account and make a ChatGPT Personal Data Removal requests.

You should absolutely avail yourself of these settings if you are using this for work where you are loading up sensitive information. We work with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) data, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) data and research data here at the university and need to be careful.

 

Services for businesses, such as ChatGPT Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, and our API Platform

“By default, we do not train on any inputs or outputs from our products for business users, including ChatGPT Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, and the API. We offer API customers a way to opt-in to share data with us, such as by providing feedback in the Playground, which we then use to improve our models. Unless they explicitly opt-in, organizations are opted out of data-sharing by default.

Please see our Enterprise Privacy page for information on how we handle business data.”

‘DuckDuckGo AI Chat is an anonymous way to access popular AI chatbots – currently, Open AI’s GPT 3.5 Turbo, Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku, and two open-source models (Meta Llama 3 and Mistral’s Mixtral 8x7B), with more to come. This optional feature is free to use within a daily limit, and can easily be switched off.

  • Chats are private, anonymized by us, and are not used for any AI model training.
  • Find DuckDuckGo AI Chat at duck.ai, duckduckgo.com/chat, on your search results page under the Chat tab, or via the !ai and !chat bang shortcuts. They all take you to the same place.
  • Improvements are already on the way. Our roadmap includes adding more chat models and browser entry points. We’re also exploring a paid plan for access to higher daily usage limits and more advanced models.”
