Check model-improvement settings separately from saved chats, then review connected-app access. The cited guidance confirms that turning off model improvement does not delete or hide saved chats, while connected-app access can be removed by disconnecting the app or asking a workspace administrator to disable it.
Where each choice should be checked
Model improvement and saved chats
These are separate data controls. Turning off Improve the model for everyone does not delete or hide chats already saved in the account.
A safe-defaults review should therefore record both choices independently:
- Whether model improvement is enabled.
- Whether existing saved chats should remain available.
The cited statement does not support treating the model-improvement switch as a command to remove saved chats.
Connected-app access
Connected-app permissions provide a separate check. To remove an app’s access, a user can disconnect the app or ask a workspace administrator to disable it.
This control concerns access. The cited statement does not say that disconnecting an app deletes data previously exchanged with it, so access removal and data deletion should not be assumed to be equivalent.
What still needs confirmation
The cited help pages do not establish a universal sequence for accepting terms, giving consent, or changing every data-related setting. Before relying on a default, readers should confirm:
- The current labels and states shown in the account.
- Any relevant workspace controls or administrator restrictions.
- Whether saved-chat and connected-app controls have updated as expected.
- Whether current product-specific terms or notices address a question not covered by these settings.
No broader conclusion about retention, consent withdrawal, or all data processing should be inferred from the two controls above.
