OpenAI reaffirms Zero Data Retention policy for API customers

OpenAI is reaffirming its Zero Data Retention (ZDR) policy for eligible API customers, ensuring that request and response data is not persisted after an API call is completed. This policy is crucial for users handling sensitive information, operating in regulated industries, or bound by enterprise contracts prohibiting third-party data storage. To address the trade-off where some safety features rely on stored logs, OpenAI is previewing a new feature called Private Safety Processing, which aims to perform safety checks without retaining the underlying request content. AI

IMPACT Ensures greater data privacy for developers using OpenAI's API, particularly those handling sensitive information.
