OpenAI Codex CLI Data Retention Policy

vNoob314 · reddit · 2026-07-10

A developer investigated the data retention and deletion policies for Codex CLI using ChatGPT OAuth. OpenAI officially confirmed that session data follows ChatGPT's consumer data retention policy, meaning data is kept until manually deleted by the user, and typically purged from systems within 30 days (excluding legal or security holds). However, the UI currently offers no way for users to actually delete these specific sessions or chat logs, raising privacy management concerns.
