OpenAI is rolling out ads in Europe later this month, aligning with its mission to ensure artificial general intelligence benefits everyone. As stated in its Privacy Policy, the company collects diverse personal data, including Account Information (names, payment details), User Content (prompts, uploaded files), and Device Information. This policy applies to users outside the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, while API customers are governed by separate agreements. OpenAI gathers Usage Data and Location Information to enhance security and service quality. Users can manage some data via settings, though automatic collection occurs. The company also uses cookies to track interactions, balancing privacy with innovation in tools like Chat GPT.

Data collection includes Communication Information (emails, messages) and Contact Data (device contacts). OpenAI emphasizes secure handling of personal data, with transparency about usage. The policy excludes content processed for customer business offerings. Users outside Europe can review a tailored Privacy Policy version.
