New ways to manage your data in ChatGPT

We've introduced the ability to turn off chat history in ChatGPT. Conversations that are started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and improve our models, and won’t appear in the history sidebar. These controls, which are rolling out to all users starting today, can be found in ChatGPT’s settings and can be changed at any time. We hope this provides an easier way to manage your data than our existing opt-out process. When chat history is disabled, we will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting.

As an AI language model, I can perform a wide range of tasks, including but not limited to:

1. Answering questions and providing general information on various topics 2. Offering recommendations or suggestions 3. Assisting with problem-solving and brainstorming ideas 4. Creating written content, such as articles, essays, stories, and poems 5. Proofreading and editing text for grammar, punctuation, and style 6. Explaining complex concepts in simpler terms 7. Assisting with language learning and providing translations 8. Generating conversation on various topics 9. Helping with programming and coding-related tasks 10. Providing summaries of articles or documents

Please note that my knowledge is based on the information available up to September 2021, so I might not be able to provide the most recent information or developments. Additionally, while I strive to be helpful, my responses may not always be perfect or accurate, so it's essential to verify critical information independently.

We are also working on a new ChatGPT Business subscription for professionals who need more control over their data as well as enterprises seeking to manage their end users. ChatGPT Business will follow our API’s data usage policies⁠, which means that end users’ data won’t be used to train our models by default. We plan to make ChatGPT Business available in the coming months.

Finally, a new Export option in settings makes it much easier to export your ChatGPT data and understand what information ChatGPT stores. You’ll receive a file with your conversations and all other relevant data in email.
