Vannus has not established which model this vendor runs, and does not infer one. Every finding below is quoted to the vendor’s own document, or marked not disclosed where the vendor publishes nothing.

Determination

Who controls it
US corporate controlRegion-dependent — a US entity contracts in some regions, another elsewhere
Contracting entityOpenAI OpCo, LLC (all customers located outside the EEA or Switzerland — including the UK); OpenAI Ireland Ltd. (customers located in the EEA or Switzerland); OpenAI Public Sector, LLC only if designated on the Order Form
Governing lawTwo-track. EEA, Switzerland or UK customers: the Laws of Ireland, with exclusive venue in the courts of Dublin, Ireland. All other customers: the laws of the State of California (excluding California conflicts rules), with exclusive venue in federal or state courts located in San Francisco County, California. Sec. 16.3 states "This Agreement will be governed by the Governing Laws... all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the Venue," subject to the mandatory NAM arbitration clause in Sec. 15 (arbitration conducted in San Francisco, California or another mutually agreed location).
Trains on your dataYes, unless you opt out — on the vendor's default plan
On a paid or enterprise planDoes not train on your data — retention configurable, not zero by default

Applies to: ChatGPT Business, ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT for Healthcare, ChatGPT Edu, ChatGPT for Teachers, API Platform

From the enterprise privacy page (Enterprise privacy at OpenAI): “By default, data from ChatGPT Business, ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT for Healthcare, ChatGPT Edu, ChatGPT for Teachers, and the API Platform (after March 1, 2023) isn't used for training our models” openai.com ↗

Training and retention posture varies by plan. The default-plan row above describes the vendor’s free or standard tier; the paid-plan row is quoted from the document linked beside it. A negotiated contract can override either. Check your own agreement before relying on this.

This is a separate question from the grade above. The grade measures resilience — whether the tool endures and whether you could leave it. This describes who controls the vendor. A tool can score modestly on one and strongly on the other, and many do.

On U.S. CLOUD Act reach specifically: the statute reaches a provider subject to U.S. jurisdiction over data in its possession, custody or control. Corporate control is a strong indicator of that and it is what we can evidence from published documents — but it is not the whole test. A company founded outside the U.S. can still contract through a U.S. entity or run substantial U.S. operations. Treat this as a starting point for your own review, not a legal determination, and take advice on anything that matters.

How this grade is set

Vannus publishes a nine-dimension trust framework — data sovereignty, training privacy, compliance posture, operational resilience, exit portability, and more. The heaviest criterion asks whether the tool builds its own AI or resells someone else's model; where the vendor discloses it, the grade cites the vendor's own documentation. No paid placements — scoring is walled off from affiliate revenue. See the methodology →
