Does chatgpt track you or store personal information?

OpenAI does log ChatGPT conversations, but they’re stripped of obvious personal identifiers, kept up to 30 days for abuse monitoring and up to a year (anonymized) for service improvement. You can disable “Share data for model training” in the iOS app under Settings → Data Controls, and Apple’s App Privacy Report (Settings → Privacy → App Privacy Report) will show you exactly what network calls it’s making. On Android it’s harder to lock down background data and permissions—iOS’s sandboxing and per-app privacy controls give you much tighter, more transparent control over what leaves your phone.
