RetentionUntil deleted; ~30 days after deletion
Show details

Conversations, Memories, and the account itself persist until the user deletes them. Once a deletion request is made, OpenAI states data is removed from its systems within 30 days, with exceptions where longer retention is required: fraud and abuse prevention, legal obligations, financial records for payments, and the audit trail of the deletion request itself. Temporary Chats are deleted automatically within 30 days unless a longer hold is needed for legal or safety reasons.

Erased at guest-session end by default
Show details

Two distinct behaviours. In guest mode the conversation is erased when the session ends and nothing is persisted at all. With an account, chat history is saved only if you choose to keep it, and it is stored under zero-access encryption — Conversation Keys wrapped by a Master Key wrapped by your own PGP keypair, which is unlocked by your password. The operator states it stores no metadata such as timestamps, IP addresses, or chat context alongside either.
