I’m looking for clarification on how store: false interacts with the OpenAI Platform Logs.
Suppose the following is true:
-
API Call Logging is enabled (either “Enabled for all projects” or “Enabled per call”).
-
I send a request to the OpenAI API (Responses API or Chat Completions API) with:
{ "store": false }
My questions are:
-
Will the request still appear in Platform Logs?
-
If it does, will the full prompt and response bodies be visible to organization administrators?
-
Or does
store: falseprevent the prompt/response content from being visible in Platform Logs, while usage and billing information remain available? -
Does the answer differ between the Responses API and the Chat Completions API?
I’m not asking about OpenAI’s internal retention, abuse monitoring, or Zero Data Retention. I’m only asking about what users with administrator access to my organization’s OpenAI Platform can see in the Platform Logs.
If anyone can clarify the exact behavior, that would be greatly appreciated.
