If this is a "wake up call" - then your legal team needs immediate education.

First - there is this - https://openai.com/policies/how-your-data-is-used-to-improve... (linked from the Navier Stokes writeup)

I don't know how much more clearly they can write:

One of the key selling tactics that companies like Data Bricks or Palantir provides their customers is "Data Governance" - that is, some control over where the data is being used. It's also a reason why enterprises don't use the OpenAI or Anthropic APIs directly - but through secondary sources that have Enterprise Agreements that do their best to make sure that no Company IP is ever retained by a third party, or even exists on a multi-tenant GPU. AWS Bedrock, and companies like together.ai, fireworks.ai have tons of deals that focus very much on data confidentiality.

The reality is - if you want any type of control - you run your own inference, on your own hardware. Anything else and you are at the mercy of third-parties, despite what their contracts might promise you.
