Question

How can we prove that the models and training data used in Azure openAI have been deleted?

We are currently using AzureOpenAI for verification, is there any way to prove to the company or customer that the data has been deleted?

(e.g. a certificate of destruction, etc.)

Matsuda Greetings!

How can we prove that the models and training data used in Azure openAI have been deleted?

Microsoft takes data privacy and security very seriously, and has implemented measures to ensure that personally identifiable information (PII) is not shared with OpenAI during the usage of Azure OpenAI Service. The same has been mentioned in the FAQs as well. For more information, see the Azure OpenAI data, privacy, and security guide.

No data is copied into the Azure OpenAI service. Please check How does the Azure OpenAI Service process data? to understand more about how the data is being processed.

It is clearly mentioned in the page Data, privacy, and security for Azure OpenAI Service Your prompts (inputs) and completions (outputs), your embeddings, and your training data:

• are NOT available to other customers.
• are NOT available to OpenAI.
• are NOT used to improve OpenAI models.
• are NOT used to improve any Microsoft or 3rd party products or services.
• are NOT used for automatically improving Azure OpenAI models for your use in your resource (The models are stateless, unless you explicitly fine-tune models with your training data).
• Your fine-tuned Azure OpenAI models are available exclusively for your use.

The Azure OpenAI Service is fully controlled by Microsoft; Microsoft hosts the OpenAI models in Microsoft’s Azure environment and the Service does NOT interact with any services operated by OpenAI (e.g. ChatGPT, or the OpenAI API).

When you use Azure OpenAI Service, your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and is stored in Microsoft Azure data centers that are compliant with various industry standards and regulations, such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. Microsoft also provides tools and services to help you manage and protect your data, such as Azure Key Vault and Azure Active Directory. See Azure OpenAI Service encryption of data at rest for more details.

You can also find more information about Microsoft's data privacy and security policies on the Microsoft Trust Center.
