For ChatGPT, the account settings that deserve a privacy check are Data controls and Personalization. OpenAI directs users to Data controls for model-improvement preferences, while memory settings are located under Settings > Personalization. Available memory features and controls can vary by plan, region, platform, and workspace settings.
Where to check model-improvement preferences
Open Settings, then select Data controls. This is where OpenAI says users can manage their model-improvement preference.
Review the option available in your own account and confirm that its current state reflects your choice. The location of the control does not mean every account will necessarily present the same interface, so use the settings actually displayed to you.
Where to check memory controls
Open Settings > Personalization to find ChatGPT’s memory settings.
Check which memory features are available to you and which controls are active. OpenAI notes that memory features and controls can vary according to:
- Your plan
- Your region
- Your platform
- Your workspace settings
What you still need to confirm yourself
Before considering the review complete, confirm the current state of the model-improvement preference and the memory controls in your account. Also check whether any plan, regional, platform, or workspace setting affects which memory features appear.
Availability alone is not a privacy recommendation: the relevant question is whether the choices presented in your account match your preferences.
