1. 30 days

   Removal of deleted or unsaved conversations

   OpenAI enterprise privacy, primary source, as of 8 January 2026.

2. 30 days

   Window to object to a new subprocessor

   OpenAI data processing addendum, primary source, as of 1 January 2026.

This is the cheapest OpenAI tier a workplace policy can actually name, because it is the first one with a signable contract, an admin who can delete, and a subprocessor list you can subscribe to. Two things a buyer should still write down: third party contractors may read flagged content on this tier, which is not true of Enterprise, and there is no residency choice, so a team with a data location requirement has not solved it by buying this plan.
