Privacy Concerns Regarding Access to Prompts/Chat Logs in Custom GPT Models

Hello,

I would like to inquire about the extent to which creators of custom GPT models can access the prompts or even the entire chat logs of users utilizing these models. Are these details accessible to the creators, and if so, under what conditions? Are there specific privacy policies that apply in this context?

Thank you in advance for your clarification on this matter.

Hello, GPT builders can not access your chat logs or prompts.

Suppose I have published a Custom GPT and would like to know if and how, as the creator, I can receive feedback or statistics on the usage and satisfaction of users with this GPT. Are there specific tools or methods that provide insight into user interactions with my Custom GPT to improve and further develop it, without violating privacy?

Yes, they are planning on releasing more features, but currently, you can see how many conversations have been started with your GPT and people can send you feedback on your GPT. At the moment, there aren’t many features, but they’ve mentioned plans to add more, such as reviews.

In addition to @grandell1234 's excellent response I want to add some clarification: before the store launched there was a time period when the creators were able to β€œset” if the conversations were shared with themselves but this has been removed.

The store is currently rolling out and OpenAI is working on all the feedback of the initial rollout. Stay alert as changes can happen quickly.

I have previously mentioned following concepts in other posts, and they extend beyond the scope of currently published Custom GPTs. Yet, it seems pertinent to discuss them again in this context. I believe there are a few key features missing to enhance the user-friendliness of Custom GPT significantly. These include:

  1. The capability to upload user-specific knowledge, allowing the model to leverage both user-specific and Custom-GPT-specific knowledge. Configuration instructions should be able to target either category of knowledge. Importantly, user-specific knowledge must remain concealed from the GPT creator, while GPT-specific knowledge and instructions should be kept hidden from the user. An advanced feature could be enabling users to create their own configuration instructions.

  2. The introduction of Custom-GPT-specific buttons for modifiable prompt text modules would be beneficial. Unlike current start buttons, which send prompts directly for responses, these buttons would allow users to edit the prompt text before submission. Each Custom-GPT-specific button could have a checkbox at the configuration-instruction level or even at the user level, specifying whether the text can be edited after pressing its button or if it is sent directly for execution. Proposal: Left sidebar as now (GPTs and chats); middle column current chat as now; right column for permanently available action buttons (Custom-GPT-specific buttons like: β€œTranslate this to German!”; β€œSummarize!”; β€œCheck language & consistency!”; β€œRemove intermediate titles!”; β€œPlease use simpler language!” etc. ).

What kind of info / data would you want from conversations with your GPT?

In my previous post, I presented some application examples for the second feature, the Custom-GPT-specific buttons.

Now, to further elaborate on the first point – the integration of case-related, user-specific knowledge in professions that are project- and/or client- and/or case-oriented. In such professions, it is crucial to have access to specific, structured knowledge tailored to the respective professional context. The clear separation of different types of knowledge is essential to ensure the integrity and relevance of the information.

The specific professions where such a Custom-GPT system could be particularly useful include:
