Any potential security issues with giving GPT-3 access to all your emails?

We use OpenAI's GPT-3 API to generate summaries. We have explicitly opted out of OpenAI's default behavior of using their APIs to train their models [1].

Our summarization feature is entirely opt-in. So if you're concerned about sharing your emails with OpenAI, you can choose not to use the feature. You can also read our Privacy Policy [2] and Terms of Service [3] to see how your data is used.

Have you considered working through Azure's APIs instead? It's like OpenAI, but with more guarantees of privacy / security.

Yes, OpenAI can log and read them forever (even if they don't use them to train additional models). This is probably an NDA violation.
