ChatGpt is available again in Italy about a month after the temporary stop decided by the Privacy Guarantor who had blocked the processing of data due to non-compliance with the legislation on the matter.

A few days before the April 30 deadline set by the Authority, OpenAI, the US company that developed and manages the platform, complied with the requests after negotiations and reopened the service.

«ChatGpt is available again for users in Italy - announced the company -. We are thrilled to welcome them back and remain committed to protecting their privacy. We met or clarified the issues raised by the Guarantor".

On March 31, the Authority had announced the start of an investigation, after noting, among other things, the lack of information to users and all interested parties whose data was collected by OpenAI, but above all the absence a legal basis to justify the massive collection and storage of personal data. Then on April 11, he sent a series of prescriptions to the company.

Now - explains the Guarantor - the company has made available a series of additional information: it has recognized all people living in Europe the right to object to their personal data being processed for algorithm training and has provided for interested parties the possibility of having the information deemed incorrect deleted, declaring, at present, technically unable to correct the errors.

There are also measures to protect minors. Users must declare that they are of age or over thirteen and, in this case, that they have parental consent. The Guarantor, who will continue the preliminary investigation started against OpenAI, now hopes that the US company will also implement an age verification system .
