OpenAI may use your Content to run, develop and improve the Services, follow the law, enforce terms and stay safe
OpenAI says it may use Content to provide, maintain, develop and improve the Services, to comply with applicable law, to enforce its terms and policies, and to keep the Services safe. If you use ChatGPT through Apple's integrations, the Terms point to a Help Center article for how Content is handled, so a different process may apply there; that article was not supplied. The next card covers the choice to opt out of training.

You can opt out of OpenAI using your Content to train its models; this may limit how well the Services fit you
If you do not want OpenAI to use your Content to train its models, you can opt out by following the instructions in a linked article. The Terms warn that in some cases opting out may limit the ability of the Services to better address your specific use case. Because the opt-out is framed as something you must choose, the clause implies that training may happen unless you opt out, but the Terms do not state that default outright.
