Data use, training & retention
How this is scored
What happens to prompts, uploaded files, connected data and outputs: whether any of it trains a model (the vendor's or a model provider's), how long it is kept and where logs live, whether zero-retention is available, and whether a data processing agreement covers it.
0 — No statement on training or retention; the privacy policy is a website policy that does not cover the product.
3 — A general statement that business data is "not used for training", with no word on retention, on the model providers behind the product or on logs.
5 — Business data excluded from training by contract, retention periods stated for chats and files, and a DPA offered to business customers.
8 — No-training commitments stated for the vendor and every model provider it routes to, retention configurable by the admin (including deletion of chat history), zero-data-retention terms with the model providers named, and abuse-monitoring retention described.
10 — Data use fully accounted for: training, retention, logging and abuse monitoring stated per model provider, customer-controlled retention and deletion with an audit trail, outputs and connected data treated as customer data in the DPA, and an independent audit (SOC 2, ISO 27001 or ISO 42001) covering the product.

Training on staff input is the default, with an opt-out per account, and thumbs up/down feedback hands the associated input and output to model training even for business customers. Retention is stated plainly — chats kept until the user deletes them, API input and output thirty rolling days for abuse monitoring — but zero-data-retention is documented as unavailable for the chat product itself regardless of subscription plan. A public, detailed data processing agreement under French law with standard contractual clauses is genuinely more than most vendors publish. 2 5 6 7
