OpenAI has updated its privacy policy to use cookies to promote its products and services on other websites for free ChatGPT users. The company claims that conversations with ChatGPT remain private and are not shared with marketing partners.
OpenAI is changing its privacy policy to target free users of its services with advertisements around the web. On April 30, the company sent an email to users outlining the changes, stating that it will use cookies to promote OpenAI products and services on other websites. The move is aimed at converting free users and measuring the effectiveness of its ads. OpenAI spokesperson Taya Christianson said that the company's policy of not sharing people's conversations or private user content with advertisers remains unchanged. Users can opt out of tracking by going to Settings > Data Controls > Marketing Privacy in the ChatGPT app. WIRED found that marketing settings were 'on' by default for free accounts, while paying accounts did not have it on by default.
