OpenAI confronts user panic over court-ordered retention of ChatGPT logs
Briefly

Magistrate Judge Ona Wang granted a rapid order allowing the New York Times access to certain deleted ChatGPT chats amid a copyright lawsuit. OpenAI responded by appealing the order, arguing it undermines user privacy. They confirmed that while deleted chats can be accessed, they are stored securely and protected from unauthorized access. The ongoing legal battle raises concerns about user trust, leading some to consider alternative services. OpenAI assures that a small legal team is the only entity that can access this data under legal obligations, reinforcing their commitment to user privacy.
We strongly believe this is an overreach by the New York Times. We're continuing to appeal this order so we can keep putting your trust and privacy first.
OpenAI provides a FAQ that explains why their data is retained and how it could be exposed.
