The original OpenAI Terms of Use states that text data requested to the original OpenAI API may be used to train OpenAI models, is this a possibility for the Azure OpenAI Service as well?

It's described on (c)Use of Content to Improve Services in the following document.

    sumino nasuka san Azure Open AI does not use customer data to retrain the models. You can find the confirmation of the same in this document. All data passed to the service can be classified in these two ways:

    1. Training data passed to fine tune your model.
    2. Data passed as text prompts to generate completions, embeddings, and search results.

    For the first scenario, Training data provided by the customer is only used to fine-tune the customer’s model and is not used by Microsoft to train or improve any Microsoft models.

    For the second scenario, The requests & response data may be temporarily stored by the Azure OpenAI Service for up to 30 days. This data is encrypted and is only accessible to authorized engineers for (1) debugging purposes in the event of a failure, (2) investigating patterns of abuse and misuse or (3) improving the content filtering system through using the prompts and completions flagged for abuse or misuse.

    I hope the above information is helpful.
