From what I gather, a company is being asked to retain potential evidence during a lawsuit involving said data. Am I missing something? What’s outside the norm here?

We specifically have an enterprise contract (in the EU), checked by our lawyers, that says they can’t store our data or use it for training.
This decision goes against that contract.

so they never should have persisted that data to begin with, right? and if they didn’t persist it, they wouldn’t need to retain it

The only thing I can tell is that they were already saving the chats of personal accounts but their SLAs prevent them from doing so with some corporate accounts. Apparently there is some concern that proprietary information will now be made part of a public case. Personally I feel like that’s the price of being an early adopter of something most people said was a bad idea but what do I know?

I mean ChatGPT will straight insist this won’t happen. So no, it’s not the price of being an early adapter.

Well, if classified information from government agencies comes to light in this case, there will be problems. Also important companies.

The only problem I see is that such storage could conflict with EU privacy laws, but the rest is normal.

Uhhh - no one should be under the impression that deleting something actually deletes it.
