Chat and studio design privacy notice

Updated November 6, 2026: Chat and Design My Studio no longer require a phone number or verification code. These features no longer collect phone numbers or add new phone-linked activity records. Submitted chat questions and their times are saved under a conversation ID so the business can understand frequently asked questions. No phone number is required or linked to these new question records. Previously stored verification and activity records have not been deleted.

OpenAI processes questions you send, dictated audio for transcription, and design requests and inspiration pictures when you choose Create My Studio. Your recent chat is kept in this browser. Design answers and saved concepts are associated with a browser session so you can resume your design. Operational usage counts, request fingerprints, and budget records are retained. Calculator inputs and estimates remain in your browser and are no longer added to business activity logs.

Unsent drafts, keystrokes, and raw audio recordings are not added to the business activity log. Please do not submit payment, health, or private tenant information. The separate contact forms still collect the contact details you choose to submit. For questions or requests about stored records, use the contact details in the policy above.
