OpenAI is not doing this to defend anyone's privacy but their own. Their entire business model is based on using everyone's data, including private data.
This is pure selfish greed.

I'm of two minds of this.
- On one hand, I don't want to normalize forcing companies to collect data on users and retain it past their stated deletion dates. OpenAI (allegedly) deletes customer data after some time, and I'd like to hold them to that!
- On the other hand, I trust OpenAI as far as I can throw them. The only reason they would ever delete data, as they state themselves, is for business interests. They probably want to keep corporate clients more than they want to risk the leakage of sensitive client information.
