Grok Build Offers Stronger Privacy Controls Than Codex
XFreeze · x · 2026-07-16
Grok Build is described as prioritizing privacy much more than Codex:
- Data retention is disabled by default, and a /privacy command is provided to delete previously synced data.
- All previously retained coding data has been completely purged.
- The entire harness can be run locally with your own inference models, allowing for line-by-line auditing.
The post also criticizes OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT Plus/Pro) for defaulting to train models on user conversations and code. Turning off data usage requires manually navigating to the settings/privacy page, chat history is retained for about 30 days, and true, comprehensive privacy controls are locked behind the Enterprise tier.
