Summary

Users report that OpenAI appears to have silently re-enabled the 'Improve the model for everyone' data-sharing setting in Codex, reactivating model training on their chats without explicit opt-in. Affected users are being pointed to ChatGPT data controls and OpenAI's privacy page to disable it again.

My company is pretty paranoid about leaking IP to the frontier labs through prompts, so we&#x27;ve all been diligent about disabling data sharing in Codex&#x2F;Claude Code&#x2F;etc. But yesterday my coworkers and I noticed that the setting had been silently reenabled in Codex. None of us knowingly opted back in.<p>You can check your settings here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chatgpt.com&#x2F;settings&#x2F;data-controls. Look for &quot;Improve the model for everyone&quot;.<p>Curious if this is an isolated issue or something more widespread.<p>EDIT: looks like this has been noted before https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49643556<p>EDIT: apparently you can also turn off data sharing here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;privacy.openai.com&#x2F;policies?modal=take-control
