The data I’m sending the api has to be secure and must not be access or stored by the openai . Will the data’s security and privacy be compromised if I use the openAI api

Hi @winged umbra. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

OpenAI places a high priority on data security and privacy. According to the information provided in the extracts:

  • Data sent to the OpenAI API is not used to train or improve OpenAI models, unless you explicitly opt in to share your data for this purpose [source (https://platform.openai.com/docs/models)].
  • Data submitted through the OpenAI API is not used to improve OpenAI’s service offering [source (https://openai.com/security)].
  • OpenAI does not share user content with third parties for marketing purposes [source (https://openai.com/security)].
  • You can request that your content be deleted, and OpenAI will delete your content (such as prompts, generated images, uploads, and API responses) when you submit a data deletion request. A data deletion request can take up to 30 days to process once it has been received [source (https://openai.com/security)].
  • To help identify abuse, API data may be retained for up to 30 days, after which it will be deleted (unless otherwise required by law). For trusted customers with sensitive applications, zero data retention may be available. With zero data retention, request and response bodies are not persisted to any logging mechanism and exist only in memory in order to serve the request [source (https://platform.openai.com/docs/models)].

Therefore, your data's security and privacy should not be compromised when using the OpenAI API. However, it's always a good practice to review the Privacy Policy (https://openai.com/privacy/) and Terms of Use (https://openai.com/api/policies/terms/) to ensure you understand how your data is handled.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
