# How to opt-out of ChatGPT training without clearing conversation history

OpenAI provides
[a Google Form for opting out of data collection on ChatGPT](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrnC-_A7JFs4LbIuzevQ_78hVERlNqqCPCt3d8XqnKOfdRdQ/closedform).
They'll eventually send you a link to
[this portal](https://privacy.openai.com/policies), which seems to do the same
thing.

> When you use our non-API consumer services ChatGPT or DALL-E, we may use the
> data you provide us to improve our models. You can switch off training in
> ChatGPT settings (under Data Controls) to turn off training for any
> conversations created while training is disabled or you can submit
> [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrnC-_A7JFs4LbIuzevQ_78hVERlNqqCPCt3d8XqnKOfdRdQ/viewform).
> Once you opt out, new conversations will not be used to train our models.
