Mistral AI updated its Data Processing Addendum effective July 27, 2026, making four targeted revisions. The most significant change clarified the conditions under which Mistral AI may use personal data for AI model training: the prior language required opt-out by either the customer or the product default status, while the updated language states that Mistral AI may train unless 'Customer is or has opted-out of training,' simplifying the opt-out condition. Additional changes include correcting a tense issue regarding data transfer authorization (from 'authorized' to 'authorizes') and minor wording adjustments to audit provisions (removing 'the' before 'a'). These revisions clarify operational procedures without materially expanding or restricting processing rights.

What this means for you

The updated Data Processing Addendum clarifies the conditions under which Mistral AI may train its AI models on customer data. Previously, the language stated that Mistral AI could train unless the customer opted out or the product was opted out by default without opt-in; the revised language states that Mistral AI may train unless the customer is or has opted out. This simplifies the opt-out framework by establishing a single condition rather than a dual condition. Customers retain the ability to opt out of AI training, and the revision does not expand Mistral AI's processing rights beyond what was previously permitted.

What you can do

Review Mistral AI's opt-out mechanism to confirm whether AI training opt-out has been selected if customer data should not be used for model training purposes.

Key Clauses Affected

AI Model Training Opt-Out (Section 2.3)

Clarified that Mistral AI may train AI models unless customer is or has opted out, removing prior dual-condition language about product defaults.

Data Transfer Authorization (Section 8.1)

Corrected tense from 'authorized' to 'authorizes' to reflect ongoing authorization rather than past authorization.
