New Lawsuit Claims OpenAI Shared User Data With Meta And Google

A new class-action lawsuit filed in California accuses OpenAI of allegedly sharing ChatGPT user data with tracking tools operated by Meta and Google, according to Futurism.

Lawsuit Targets ChatGPT Data Practices

The complaint claims that ChatGPT prompts, email addresses, user identifiers, and account-related data may have been sent to systems such as Meta Pixel and Google Analytics.

Plaintiffs argue that this data could allow sensitive conversations to be connected with user identities for tracking, analytics, or advertising-related profiling.

Why The Allegations Matter

The case focuses on a key concern around AI assistants: users often treat ChatGPT differently from a normal website.

Prompts can include health worries, workplace problems, private messages, financial questions, emotional issues, or legal concerns. The lawsuit argues that linking those prompts to identifying data could create detailed behavioral profiles.

OpenAI Has Not Responded Yet

The allegations remain unproven, and the case is still in its early stages. According to the report, OpenAI had not publicly responded at the time of publication.

OpenAI’s privacy policy already says some data collection and sharing can occur, but the lawsuit claims users did not meaningfully consent to this specific type of tracking integration.

The lawsuit arrives as OpenAI faces several other high-profile developments. The company is reportedly considering legal action against Apple over ChatGPT’s iPhone implementation, while also expanding Codex to the mobile version of ChatGPT and launching its new Daybreak initiative.

Together, these stories show how OpenAI’s rapid expansion is bringing more scrutiny over privacy, partnerships, and product strategy.
