Custom GPT Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2, 2026

Plain-English summary: If you only chat with a GDK Digital Custom GPT inside ChatGPT, your conversation and uploads are handled by OpenAI under OpenAI's policies, not directly collected by GDK Digital. If you ask a GPT to use a GDK-operated Action, ChatGPT may send the specific action request data needed to complete that task. For current Google Drive workspace Actions, that means workspace-organization fields can be written to a Google Drive workspace when you give permission. We do not sell user data.

Table of Contents

1. Scope

This policy applies to Custom GPTs and GPT Actions operated or configured by GDK Digital LLC. It is written for the current Custom GPT setup, including Google Drive workspace Actions used to organize user-approved workspaces.

This policy supplements the general GDK Digital Privacy Policy. If a specific GPT or service has a product-specific policy, the product-specific policy controls for that service.

OpenAI, Google, and other third-party services may process your information under their own policies when you use ChatGPT, GPT Actions, Google Drive, or external APIs.

2. Platform Roles

Surface What it does Who controls it
ChatGPT conversation Processes prompts, uploaded files, and GPT responses inside ChatGPT. OpenAI controls ChatGPT platform processing under OpenAI policies.
GDK Digital Custom GPT instructions and knowledge Defines the GPT behavior, reference material, workflow rules, and source documents loaded by the builder. GDK Digital controls builder-provided configuration and knowledge files.
ChatGPT uploads Files or text you upload directly into ChatGPT for the GPT to analyze. OpenAI controls ChatGPT upload handling unless an Action separately sends or stores selected data.
GPT Actions or private APIs Allows ChatGPT to send relevant request data to a GDK Digital endpoint or approved third-party endpoint to retrieve, calculate, save, or export data. GDK Digital controls GDK-operated endpoints. Third parties control their own endpoints.

3. What GDK Digital Collects

3.1 ChatGPT-only use

When you only interact with a GDK Digital Custom GPT inside ChatGPT and do not invoke a GDK-operated Action, GDK Digital does not directly receive your prompts, uploaded files, or GPT outputs. Those materials are processed by OpenAI inside ChatGPT under OpenAI's policies and your ChatGPT account or workspace settings.

3.2 Information sent to a GDK-operated Action

If you ask the GPT to use a GDK-operated Action, ChatGPT may send the specific fields needed for that Action. For current Google Drive workspace Actions, those fields may include:

3.3 Information generated by an Action

3.4 Website and support information

4. ChatGPT Uploads and GPT Knowledge

Custom GPT workflows may depend on user-provided documents. Depending on the GPT and task, these may include policies, letters, estimates, photos, reports, timelines, worksheets, project notes, or other business documents.

5. Google Drive Workspace Actions

Current GDK Digital Google Drive workspace Actions use Google Apps Script web apps to create and update user-approved workspaces in Google Drive. These Actions are not Google OAuth connected apps for the end user. They do not browse your personal Google Drive, search your Drive, or ask you to sign in with Google.

When you give permission for the GPT to create or update a workspace, the Action can:

The current Action code does not intentionally write a separate workspace-content log. However, OpenAI, Google Apps Script, Google Drive, and hosting or security providers may process technical request data needed to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service.

Do not send secrets, payment card data, Social Security numbers, medical records, or unrelated personal information to the Action.

6. Other Actions or Connected Apps

Future or separate GDK Digital GPTs may use different Actions, APIs, or connected apps. If a GPT uses a different data path, the GPT or product documentation should identify what it sends, stores, retrieves, or changes.

7. How We Use Information

GDK Digital does not use your workspace data to train AI models.

8. Sharing and Service Providers

We do not sell your personal information, job documents, Google Drive content, or uploaded business files.

We may share information only as needed for the following purposes:

9. Retention

Data type Retention approach
ChatGPT conversations and files Handled under OpenAI's retention and workspace settings unless separately sent to or stored by GDK Digital.
Workspace Action technical logs The current Action code does not intentionally write separate workspace-content logs. Platform-level execution, access, error, and security logs may be retained by OpenAI, Google, or infrastructure providers under their policies.
Workspace folders, sheets, and packets Retained in the Google Drive workspace until deleted by the workspace owner or administrator, or until no longer needed for the service.
User-supplied Google Drive links Remain wherever the user stored them. The workspace Action records only links or metadata sent to it unless a user uploads files into a workspace folder.
Support communications Retained as needed to answer requests, maintain service records, and resolve disputes.

When information is no longer needed, we delete, anonymize, or de-identify it where practical and legally permitted.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. These may include HTTPS/TLS, access controls, least-privilege permissions, encrypted secrets, logging minimization, vendor controls, and review of action schemas and endpoints.

No internet or AI system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users are responsible for controlling what they upload, who can access shared folders, and whether uploaded documents contain sensitive information.

11. Your Choices and Rights

OpenAI account-level rights, ChatGPT conversation controls, and connected-app controls must be managed through OpenAI, Google, or the relevant provider.

12. Children's Privacy

GDK Digital Custom GPTs are business tools and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through these GPTs. If you believe a child has provided personal information to a GDK Digital system, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

13. AI Output Limitations

Custom GPT outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or based on limited source documents. Do not treat GPT output as final legal, financial, engineering, code, safety, warranty, permitting, or material-ordering advice without qualified human review. Assumptions, blockers, and source limitations should be reviewed before field use or ordering.

14. Changes

We may update this policy as GPT features, connected apps, action endpoints, vendor relationships, or legal requirements change. We will update the date above and post the revised policy at this URL. Material changes may also be communicated through product, website, or account notices where appropriate.
