OpenAI tests ads on Free and Go plans in India, promises no impact on answers
meltinglacier · reddit · 2026-08-13
OpenAI has quietly updated its privacy policy to introduce ads on ChatGPT's Free and Go plans, currently being tested in India. Paid tiers like Plus, Pro, and Enterprise remain ad-free.
The company stated that ads will be clearly labeled and visually separated from organic answers, promising they won't influence ChatGPT's responses. Ad personalization will rely solely on in-app interactions, and users' personal details and chat histories will not be shared with advertisers. This move has sparked community concerns about OpenAI gradually eroding privacy protections.
