OpenAI previews safety monitoring that retains none of customers’ data

OpenAI is previewing Private Safety Processing, a feature that monitors for long-horizon API abuse across multiple distinct sessions without retaining any customer conversation data, enabling enterprises to deploy agents handling sensitive data without the 30-day storage and privacy liabilities of rival models. The feature closes the gap created by Anthropic's 30-day retention policy, allowing zero-data-retention SLAs for regulated industries.

OpenAI is previewing Private Safety Processing, a feature that monitors for long-horizon API abuse across multiple distinct sessions without retaining any customer conversation data. This enables you to deploy agents handling highly sensitive enterprise data without the 30-day storage and privacy liabilities of rival models, while still blocking bad actors who attempt to bypass safety guardrails by spreading malicious payloads across different chats.

OpenAI’s new Private Safety Processing lets you scan for multi-session abuse without ever storing customer data. This closes the gap Anthropic created with its 30-day retention policy, so you can now offer enterprise-grade safety monitoring while keeping zero-data-retention SLAs intact—critical for regulated industries or any customer that won’t tolerate data persistence.
