- Ad Mechanism: Ads will not influence ChatGPT's answers and will be clearly labeled, visually separated from organic responses.
- Privacy Controls: Ad personalization will be based on interactions within ChatGPT, but users' personal details and conversations will not be shared with advertisers. Users can manage ad personalization in settings at any time.
