Is there a difference between deleting a conversation and removing data from training?
Category:LLM Privacy & Compliance
Quick Answer
Yes, completely different. Deleting conversation removes it from chat history but not from training. Disabling training prevents future use but doesnt affect past data. GDPR deletion removes stored data but not model weights.
Detailed Answer
| Action | What it does | What it doesnt do |
|---|---|---|
| Delete conversation | Removes from chat history | Doesnt remove data already used for training |
| Disable training | Prevents future conversations from being used | Doesnt affect data already used |
| GDPR data deletion | Provider deletes stored data | Doesnt remove data from trained model weights |
Even after you delete a conversation, providers typically retain the data for 30-72 hours before actual deletion from their servers.
