OpenAI will start using your connected Health data for training on Nov 19 unless you opt out
damontoo · reddit · 2026-11-14
A Reddit user shared an OpenAI notice: conversations using connected Health data were previously excluded from model training regardless of settings. Starting November 19, your "model improvement" setting will decide whether those conversations—and content derived from them—can be used to train OpenAI's models.
To prevent this, users must turn off "Improve the model for everyone" in Settings → Data Controls before November 19. Effectively, health-data privacy protection shifts from opt-in exclusion to opt-out, which matters given the sensitivity of medical information.
