Look in settings and on the privacy page for a control that stops your conversations being used to train or improve models.

✓ Yes
A setting you can switch yourself, on consumer plans.
½ Partly
Only by request or a form, or only on some plans, or off by default with no control named.
✕ No
No way described, or chats are used with no opt-out.
