Assessment

Consumer accounts: medium

Reasoning: Image generation on a consumer OpenAI account carries the ChatGPT terms: training under the account setting, US processing. Inputs are prompts and reference images, which is a narrower exposure than chat, hence the lower rating than ChatGPT itself.

Flags: GDPR Art. 28 (no processor agreement on consumer accounts) · GDPR Chapter V (US processing) · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
