Can GPT-4o Be Trusted With Your Private Data?

On May 13, OpenAI unveiled a new GPT-4o AI model to power its ChatGPT chatbot. OpenAI’s Privacy Policy On the face of it, OpenAI’s privacy policy does show a large amount of data collection, including personal information, usage data, and content provided when you use it. OpenAI is quick to say in its privacy policy that individual data is “anonymized,” but the approach on the whole seems to be “take everything now and sort it out later,” says Angus Allan, senior product manager at digital consultancy CreateFuture, which advises firms on ways to use AI and data analytics. “Their privacy policy explicitly states they collect all user input and reserve the right to train their models on this.” The catch-all “user content” clause likely covers images and voice data too, says Allan. The policy hasn't changed significantly with GPT-4o, but given its expanded capabilities, the scope of what constitutes ‘user content’ has broadened dramatically.” OpenAI’s privacy policies are clear that ChatGPT does not have access to any data on your device beyond what you explicitly input into the chat.
