Episode Details

Consumer tiers of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini all train on chats by default, while API and business tiers do not. Even with opt-outs enabled, feedback buttons, safety reviews, and separate Codex settings can still expose conversations. The bigger privacy risk isn't models memorizing secrets—it's five-year retention windows and human reviewers. Also covered: how OpenRouter publishes provider retention policies, and what research from Mireshghallah and Li alongside PII-Compass reveals about actual data extraction risks.
