Offering Zero Data Retention for frontier models

AnnouncementProductAug 18, 2026

OpenAI is previewing Private Safety Processing, a system designed to detect misuse patterns across multiple interactions while maintaining Zero Data Retention, meaning OpenAI does not retain customer prompts or responses after processing. The system uses automated tools to flag risks without exposing underlying content to OpenAI personnel. OpenAI plans to begin rolling out the feature and publish a technical white paper in September, with early customers currently testing it.
