Sora is covered by the OpenAI consumer privacy policy; the training toggle in ChatGPT data controls applies to the same account.
“As noted above, we may use Content you provide us to improve our Services, for example to train the models that power ChatGPT. / If training is enabled (see your data controls here ) or if you provide feedback, we use the content you share with us to help our models become more accurate and better at solving your specific problems and help improve their general capabilities and safety.”
“Once you choose to delete Personal Data, we will remove it from our systems within 30 days unless we need to retain it for longer as described below, or it has already been de-identified and disassociated from your account when you allow us to use your Content to improve our models (opens in a new window) .”
“OpenAI processes your Personal Data on servers located outside of the EEA, Switzerland and the UK for the purposes described in this policy. / This includes processing and storing your Personal Data in our facilities and servers in the United States or in countries or territories where our affiliates and partners or our vendors and service providers are located.”
