Except for certain endpoints and features listed in our platform documentation⁠, OpenAI may securely retain API inputs and outputs for up to 30 days to provide the services and to identify abuse. After 30 days, API inputs and outputs are removed from our systems, unless we are legally required to retain them. You can also request zero data retention (ZDR) for eligible endpoints if you have a qualifying use-case. For details on data handling, visit our Platform Docs⁠ page.

By default, data from ChatGPT Business, ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT for Healthcare, ChatGPT Edu, ChatGPT for Teachers, and the API Platform (after March 1, 2023) isn't used for training our models, unless you have explicitly opted in to share your data with us to improve the services.

Is data used by Microsoft to train models?

No. Data is not used for Microsoft not used for training models. See the Responsible AI documentation for more information.

When you use Paid Services, including, for example, the paid quota of the Gemini API, Google doesn't use your prompts (including associated system instructions, cached content, and files such as images, videos, or documents) or responses to improve our products, and will process your prompts and responses in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum for Products Where Google is a Data Processor. For Paid Services, Google logs prompts and responses for a limited period of time, solely for the purpose of detecting violations of the Prohibited Use Policy and any required legal or regulatory disclosures. This data may be stored transiently or cached in any country in which Google or its agents maintain facilities.

Other data we collect while providing the Paid Services to you, such as account information and settings, billing history, direct communications and feedback, and usage details (e.g., information about usage including token count per prompt and response, operational status, safety filter triggers, software errors and crash reports, authentication details, quality and performance metrics, and other technical details necessary for Google to operate and maintain Services, which may include device identifiers, identifiers from cookies or tokens, and IP addresses) remains subject to the Google Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms and Google Privacy Policy referenced in the API Terms.

When using Grounding with Google Search, additional data is collected and used, as detailed in the "Grounding with Google Search" section below.

We do not use API data for training (unless you have an agreement with us that states otherwise).
