By default, OpenAI enables this setting for every user. However, there is a simple way to prevent your messages from being included in future training. If you\u2019re concerned about your privacy, we\u2019ll explain how to disable this option on both desktop and mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Change your data controls in the settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin,&nbsp;<strong>open ChatGPT and access the Settings menu<\/strong>. On desktop, click your profile picture in the bottom-left corner and select \u201cSettings\u201d. On mobile, tap the side menu and then tap your name to open the settings screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once inside Settings, go to the&nbsp;<strong>\u201cData Controls\u201d section under the Account tab<\/strong>. On desktop, you\u2019ll find a subsection called \u201cModel Improvement\u201d. On mobile, the setting appears directly under \u201cData Controls\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There,&nbsp;<strong>look for the option called \u201cImprove the model for everyone\u201d<\/strong>. This is the setting that allows OpenAI to use your conversations to refine their AI. Simply turn this toggle off. Once disabled,&nbsp;<strong>OpenAI will no longer use your content to improve its models<\/strong>, offering you a greater level of privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This change&nbsp;<strong>does not affect your access to ChatGPT\u2019s features or functionality<\/strong>. It simply ensures that your prompts and responses won\u2019t be collected for model training. If you value control over your data, this is a key setting to review and adjust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these steps,&nbsp;<strong>you can keep your content private while continuing to use ChatGPT normally<\/strong>. It only takes a few seconds, and the difference in data protection is significant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we use ChatGPT,&nbsp;our conversations can be collected and used to train future AI models.
