To be fair to OpenAI, their privacy policy[0] does provide some detail. They don't mention Mixpanel explicitly, but OpenAI does mention they share your information with third-party web analytics services:
> To assist us in meeting business operations needs and to perform certain services and functions, we may disclose Personal Data to vendors and service providers, including providers of ... web analytics services ...
OpenAI likely provides this disclosure to comply with US state privacy laws, but it's inaccurate to say they didn't disclose that they won't share your information

Yeah they really shouldn't be sharing PII with mixpanel there's no need.
Such a big company should be able to easily self-host their analytics. They don't even have to create their own platform, there are many out there that they can use.
