As an integral part of its app launch, OpenAI has addressed data security concerns by detailing how it collects, shares, and processes user data.
In the app’s data security information, OpenAI emphasized that the ChatGPT Android app does not share user data with third parties.
According to reports, the application collects multiple types of data. This includes an approximate location, the user’s name, email address, phone number, and details of in-app messages and user interactions.
App performance information such as crash logs and diagnostic data is also collected.
OpenAI has outlined the privacy practices that the ChatGPT app follows. This includes data encryption during transmission to ensure secure data transmission. In addition, OpenAI provides users with a way to request deletion of data.
The ChatGPT app and future AI developments from Apple and Google
OpenAI wants to delight millions of users worldwide with this release, with the ChatGPT app already attracting a lot of attention.
Over 10.6k users of the ChatGPT app on the App Store gave it an average of 4.4 stars out of five. The top charts show it to be one of the top five productivity apps for iPhone.
It is possibly one of the most popular AI chatbots right now. But what happens when Apple develops generative AI that gets built into its operating system?
Will people keep downloading apps like ChatGPT if effective AI is built into their devices at launch? It will likely depend on which company has the most reliable and accurate AI tool.
