New privacy center for ChatGPT users
The new privacy center in ChatGPT is basically a hub where all privacy-related features are explained and located within the account profile of the users. It does not replace the existing privacy tools but just adds to the ecosystem by helping people know where to find a particular option.

The new center is available for the free ChatGPT users as well as those signed up for the Go, Plus, Pro and the Business accounts. It will also reflect in the ChatGPT app on iOS and Android devices. The main way to access Privacy Center is by going to the Settings section in these apps, while the desktop version caters to the Privacy option in the Help menu.
The company assures that Privacy Center will never have the power to remove or change the settings of the profile and even delete any data stored in the account. The section will have three categories; personalised chats and ads, chat privacy and data use across apps and third-party plug-ins.
All the talk around privacy comes at a time when OpenAI is allegedly said to be using humans to read and review these conversations to make its AI better. OpenAI is running this under the condename Project Lily, and reviewing chats done by humans can also include sensitive personal information.
The report says OpenAI is using a different mechanism to use these conversations to train the AI and asking the human reviewers to check for precise methods of the responses, and how it summarises a topic.
