Why this rating
Commercial API does not use customer prompts for training by default. ZDR available by contract. Strong default for production AI applications.
Considerations before deploying
- Confirm ZDR if processing PII / PHI; standard 30-day retention applies otherwise
- BAA available for HIPAA-covered workloads under Enterprise contract
- Distinct from chat.openai.com — separate compliance posture
