Data Privacy with OpenAI API

Hi Community

We are creating application for pharma client using openai apis. Client data is highly confidential, and data privacy is big concern. As per openai policies, openai do not uses data for training if we are using APIs. Can someone confirm if this is correct? And will openai store the data, if we are using openai api?

Hi and welcome to the Community!

You are correct, when using the API your data will not be used by OpenAI for training.

Here’s an overview of the data retention by endpoint: https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/how-we-use-your-data

Can you give some idea how to apply for ZDR(zero data retention policy?)

There’s not too much more guidance I can provide on this beyond what you will have likely already seen under the link I shared. Currently, you would need to reach out to the sales team via the following form to submit your request for ZDR:

We’ve discussed this in a couple of threads in the past, including the one below, but in general have limited data points from other Forum users as to when ZDR has been granted, how long it takes etc. That shouldn’t prevent you from giving it a try though :slight_smile:
