Screen Time settings let you block access to the ChatGPT extension. Read our guide, Block or allow Siri and Apple Intelligence features.
ChatGPT and privacy
When using the ChatGPT extension, you decide what content to send to ChatGPT. To answer your request and give you accurate and relevant results, ChatGPT gets your request and attachments, plus limited data associated with the request, like the feature being used when making the request, device type, country, language, and current time zone. ChatGPT doesn’t see your IP address, though ChatGPT does receive your general location for purposes such as helping ChatGPT prevent fraud and comply with applicable law.
If you access the ChatGPT extension without an account, only the information described above will be sent to ChatGPT. OpenAI does not receive any information tied to your Apple Account. According to Apple, OpenAI must process your data solely for the purpose of fulfilling your request, and not store your request or any responses it provides unless required under applicable laws. OpenAI also must not use your request to improve or train its models.
Signing in to a ChatGPT account means your ChatGPT account settings and OpenAI’s data privacy policies apply.
For more information, go to the Settings app on your iPad, then tap Siri. Tap ChatGPT, then tap About ChatGPT Extension & Privacy.
