As an integral part of its app rollout, OpenAI has addressed data safety concerns by describing how it collects, shares, and handles user data.
Within the app’s data safety information, OpenAI stressed that the ChatGPT Android app does not share user data with third parties.
The application is reported to collect several types of data. This includes an approximate location, the user’s name, email address, phone number, and details about in-app messages and user interactions.
It also collects information about app performance, such as crash logs and diagnostic data.
OpenAI has outlined privacy practices that the ChatGPT app follows, which include data encryption in transit to ensure secure data transfer. Moreover, OpenAI provides a method for users to request data deletion.
The ChatGPT App And Future AI Developments From Apple And Google
OpenAI seeks to enthrall millions of users worldwide with this release, with the ChatGPT app already gaining significant attention.
Over 10.6k ChatGPT app users on the App Store gave it an average of 4.4 out of five stars. The top charts show it is one of the top five productivity apps for iPhone.
It may be one of the most popular AI chatbots now. But what happens when Apple develops generative AI that integrates into its operating system?
Will people continue downloading apps like ChatGPT if an effective AI is built into their devices at launch? It will likely depend on which company has the most reliable and accurate AI tool.
