I’m signing in with my Microsoft account and I have a custom GPT, it shows the world my name including initials. That should not happen because that is personal information.
I’m fairly sure it wasn’t properly highlighted and users are not warned so that could be a GDPR breach. Stop showing personal data to the world.
Hi!
You can use a custom domain if you don’t want to show your name!
That’s not the point because OpenAI are still publishing personal data to the public across the Internet and they are not warning users.
As the data handler and the data processor they are legally obliged to adhere to GDPR.
I don’t know if you have a case here, because it shows you exactly how your gpt will be displayed. You got your title, your description, and your name 
Plus, as long as you can unpublish your stuff… shouldn’t be an issue, right?
That said, OpenAI does have an issue with communicating stuff in general, but I’m not sure if more warning signs and disclaimers everywhere for this (reversible) action are necessary
According to my fact checking GPT my claim is “Generally Accurate” but I don’t know if the custom GPT itself is accurate yet lol
Here’s how you can prevent your name from being shown:
I hope that helps.
The instructions provided above don’t work if you already have published GPT’s. IT says you can’t turn your name off if you already have published GPT’s in the marketplace.
Keep getting this error when trying to turn off my name from showing in the Builder profile. Can anyone help with this?
“Something went wrong. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com”
Ideally, would like to turn off this public name sharing asap.
Did you have any luck getting a fix / work around for this?
The problem continues. I decided to delete my public personalized GPTs because it publishes my full name (first, second, last name) based on the data from my credit card.
It forces me to turn the “Name” switch on with the message “Complete verification to publish GPTs to everyone. Verify your identity by adding billing details or verifying ownership of a public domain name.”
So much for privacy then.
