OpenAI unveils new chat history and data management settings for ChatGPT

OpenAI has unveiled new privacy options for ChatGPT, the company announced on Tuesday. "ChatGPT users can now turn off chat history, allowing you to choose which conversations can be used to train our models," the company said in a press release. 

Once toggled off, the conversations will no longer appear in the user's conversation history sidebar.

OpenAI hopes that this new feature provides users an "easier way to manage your data than our existing opt-out process." The company said that when a user disables their chat history, OpenAI will retain conversations for 30 days to review "only when needed for abuse" before permanently deleting them from the system.
