Single-User License with Team-Level Data Protection
This is the English version of my earlier post in German, shared here to reach a broader audience in the community.
Problem / Context
Many professionals use ChatGPT alone but still require strict data protection guarantees (e.g. consultants, researchers, public administration). Currently, there is no suitable option for single users who need both a chat history and guaranteed exclusion from training data.
Current Limitation
- Plus: Opt-out is possible, but then the chat history is disabled – impractical for sensitive or ongoing work.
- Team: Provides the needed guarantees, but requires a minimum of 2 seats – for single users this means paying triple the price, without benefiting from team features like shared workspaces.
- Enterprise: Far too expensive and oversized for individual professionals.
Suggested Solution
Introduce a single-user plan with Team-level data protection, priced between Plus and Team.
This plan would guarantee:
- No training use of sensitive data
- Full access to chat history
- Fair pricing for individual professionals
Why it matters
This change would close an important gap for single professionals who need to use ChatGPT responsibly in sensitive contexts. It would make the platform more accessible and compliant for individual experts, while still preserving the benefits of the higher-level plans for teams and enterprises.
