Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
Enterprise users Trial users Researchers

Cohere updated its privacy policy on May 2, 2026 to add specific retention timelines and procedures for handling personal information. The revised policy now explicitly states that inputs and outputs on the Platform are retained for 30 days for Enterprise Users, clarifies that Trial Users and Researchers should not be providing personal information, and establishes a process for requesting deletion of inadvertently included personal data by emailing privacy@cohere.com with a typical one-month response time. The policy also added guidance for requests related to training data, directing users to a separate Model Training Privacy Notice and noting that Cohere does not intentionally collect personal information for training purposes.

1 new obligation

Enterprise customers: If you ask Cohere to delete personal information you accidentally submitted, they will respond within a month for straightforward requests or longer if the request is complex.
