Abstraction: Guide to ChatGPT data deletion rights and privacy controls amid regulatory scrutiny

Key points:

ChatGPT trains on web data, licensed data, and user chat inputs by default; OpenAI is secretive about exact training corpus composition
Italy temporarily banned ChatGPT over GDPR; the European EDPB formed a task force on ChatGPT; Canada also launched an investigation
OpenAI's Personal Data Removal Request form (primarily for Europe and Japan) targets removing mentions from model outputs, not from training data
Toggling off "Chat History & Training" in Settings stops conversations from being used in future training; data retained 30 days for abuse monitoring then deleted
OpenAI acknowledges it is "technically impossible" to correct factual inaccuracies in model outputs at present
ChatGPT has generated false defamatory statements about real named individuals, including a law professor and an Australian mayor
