OpenAI aims to create models that are useful for developers across a variety of domains and applications. We improve our models through research advancements and by applying them to real-world challenges and contexts.

By default, we don’t use any inputs or outputs from our products for business users, including ChatGPT Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, and the API, to improve our models. However, we recognize that API users currently face limitations in tailoring these models to evolve with their specific needs, such as improving instruction following or executing complex app actions.

One way to contribute to this improvement is by opting to share evaluations with OpenAI through our Evals product. Organizations who choose to do so can manage this option at the project or organization level through their admin settings. The evaluation data you share will be used to help identify usage patterns, measure model quality, and inform future evaluation and training of models.

You’re always in control of your data and privacy when using the OpenAI API. You can change your settings and choose to opt out again at any time. To help protect people’s privacy, we take steps to reduce the amount of personal information in our training datasets before they are used for any model improvement and training.

You will need to be an account owner to opt in to share evaluation data via the Dashboard. Accounts with Zero Data Retention enabled cannot opt in to our data sharing mechanisms.

By default, evaluation data sharing is disabled for all organizations. Account owners can opt into this feature via their organization’s settings page, either for all projects or only selected ones. Account owners can change these settings at any time and choose to opt out again.

When set to 'Enabled,' this allows organization members to individually decide whether to share evaluation data with OpenAI for each evaluation. This data includes prompts, completions, grading logic, and results. You and your organization members can disable this sharing option for any future evaluation runs. Through the end of 2024, evaluations you share with OpenAI will be processed at no cost (up to 7 per week).

Please be aware that by providing evaluation data from your organization, you confirm that you have the appropriate permissions for OpenAI to process and use this data as described in this article. Please do not include any sensitive, confidential, or proprietary information in your evaluation data.

You can read more about how your data is handled in this Help Center article and on our Enterprise Privacy page.
