Overall Assessment
ChatGPT offers reasonable protections with user-friendly opt-out controls and clear ownership rights, but has significant risks around training data usage, human review capabilities, and broad data collection practices. Free/Go tier users face additional privacy concerns with personalized advertising. Enterprise users should carefully review data handling practices before using for sensitive information.

The right enterprise tier, contractual addendum, or governance policy can often make a moderate-risk tool safe for professional use.
