Somewhat related, I previously completed the form found in the help section titled "How your data is used to improve model performance" to opt out of providing training data to OpenAI: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5722486-how-your-data-is...

I received a confirmation in February that my data had been excluded from model training. However, recently, after the addition of the new Data Controls feature, I noticed that I was suddenly opted in again in the settings. I've tried contacting them about it via Discord and e-mail so that they can clarify whether the exclusion is still valid, but it seems like I'm getting ignored.

Oh this is infuriating. I did the same thing early on with that sketchy google form and thought I was good. But then after reading your comment, I went to my settings and it looks like I was opted in again. You also can't opt out without losing a feature (history of your chats), which is a form of coercion.
