> ChatGPT Enterprise and ChatGPT Edu: Your workspace admins control how long your customer content is retained. Any deleted conversations are removed from our systems within 30 days, unless we are legally required to retain them.

I'm confused, how does this not affect Enterprise or Edu? They clearly possess the data, so what makes them different legally?

Enterprise has an exemption granted by the judge

> When we appeared before the Magistrate Judge on May 27, the Court clarified that ChatGPT Enterprise is excluded from preservation.

Oh I missed that part, thanks. I wonder why. I guess the judge assumes it isn't being used for copyright infringement, but other plans might be?

No idea, but just to speculate—the court’s goal isn’t actually to scare OpenAI’s users or harm their business, right? It is to collect evidence. Maybe they just figured they don’t need to dip into that pool to get enough evidence.

Who knows, it's probably the judge's twisted idea of "that'd be too far", as if cancelling basic privacy expectations of all users everywhere wouldn't be.
