I'm confused, your own #2 link says that Open AI is not bound to store output logs indefinitely going forward:

> Update on October 22, 2025:

> After months of litigation, we are no longer under a legal order to retain consumer ChatGPT and API content indefinitely. Our obligations under the earlier order ended on September 26, 2025.

> We’ve returned to our standard data retention practices :

> Deleted ChatGPT conversations and Temporary Chats will be automatically deleted from our systems within 30 days (opens in a new window).

> API data will also be automatically deleted after 30 days.
