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.
The Works Council Member
A written no-training commitment covers the vendor and a table names OpenAI and Anthropic as neither logging nor training on data, log retention is spelled out (30 days on the free tier, until deleted on other tiers, configurable periods on Enterprise), a data processing agreement is published and a SOC 2 Type II report covers the product. For a works council two things weigh against a higher mark: the Enterprise retention feature must be enabled by the vendor's own team and we found no public information on abuse-monitoring retention or on pseudonymising prompt logs. The terms of service separately grant a worldwide, irrevocable licence to use client data 'to improve the Solution', so the captured pages give different signals on improvement use. 5 6 7 9
