OpenAI is rolling out ads in new regions (Europe later this month) and has started showing ads on Free and Go plans in India, per community posts and policy updates that say Pro, Enterprise, Business and Education plans do not have ads. The company updated its Privacy Policy to explain how ads work and how users can control their experience, and emphasized that ads do not influence ChatGPT's answers.
