This is an extract from an archived copy, fetched 1 June 2026. OpenAI didn't author this page for us. It's a snapshot we captured from https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/. We hold the whole page and publish this part of it: the sentence a verdict rests on, with the text either side, so you can see it hasn't been lifted out of an exception.

The entry cited this capture from 13 August 2026 until 6 September 2026, when the document was re-read; it now cites the capture of 21 September 2026. This page stays so that anything that linked it still works.
