===Retained users' data (?)===


===Security Breach (2023)===
On March 20, 2023 a bug allowed some users to see other users' conversation titles. Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, stated users couldn't view other users' conversation content. After the bug was fixed, users reported they were unable to view their conversation historial. Later reports showed this issue was much bigger than it was thought at first, with OpenAI reporting there were leaks of the users' name, last name, e-mail address, payment address, and partial credit card information. <ref>{{Cite web |url=https://openai.com/index/march-20-chatgpt-outage/ |title=March 20 ChatGPT outage: Here’s what happened |date=20 March 2023 |first=Fidgi |last=Simo |access-date=26 Jan 2026}}</ref>.

On May 13, 2025, due to a lawsuit for copyright infriginment by ChatGPT to New York Times, a court in New York mandated OpenAI to preserve indefinetely all users' conversation logs, including data from deleted conversations and temporal conversations. This affects Free, Plus, Pro and Team suscription tiers and also non Zero-Data-Retention API users. Edu, Enterprise tiers and Zero-Data-Retention API users are exempt from this. <ref>{{Cite web |url=https://medium.com/aimonks/court-orders-openai-to-retain-chatgpt-conversations-indefinitely-what-you-need-to-know-1530f24501a6 |title=ChatGPT To Retain Conversations Indefinitely |date=15 Jul 2025 |first=Sudha |last=R |access-date=26 Jan 2026}}</ref>.
