>This chat won't appear in history, use or update ChatGPT's memory, or be used to train our models. For safety purposes, we may keep a copy of this chat for up to 30 days.
But AFAIK it was this way before the lawsuit as well.
The NYT requests samples between Dec 2022 and Dec 2024. The judge order to preserve chats came in effect this summer after OpenAI engineers deleted, claiming mistake, the VM in which NYT layers were processing data.
Dates and the 30 day default retention policy don't add up, when framing things this way.
>They didn't keep temporary chats

30 days is perhaps a bit long, but they didn't keep them longer than that. It's pretty clear and reasonable.
The dodgy thing is that they don't now warn users that all chats, including temporary, are now "Bcc: NYT"
