Mistral AI revised its Commercial Terms effective August 5, 2026, making three material changes to how customer data is handled. First, the definition of 'Customer Data' now explicitly includes 'access to data' and 'coding environment' alongside prompts and fine-tuning data. Second, the company restructured its AI training opt-out framework: instead of carving out free tiers and specific use cases, the updated terms now apply a uniform rule based on whether each product is 'opt-out by default' or 'opt-in by default,' and removed the exception for free subscription tiers. Third, the company expanded its 'Labs Models' category to include 'Preview Models' and clarified that data retention opt-outs selected for other products do not apply to Labs or Preview Models. The liability cap exception for 'breach of obligations under Section 6 (Confidentiality)' was also removed.
Enterprise customers: Mistral AI may now collect and process a broader category of customer information, including data access patterns and coding environments, not just the text and files customers explicitly submit.
Enterprise customers: The prior framework that exempted certain free and low-cost tiers from training use has been replaced with a uniform opt-in/opt-out model applied per product.
The updated terms expand what Mistral AI may collect and use as 'Customer Data' to include 'access to data' and 'coding environment,' not just prompts and fine-tuning data. The company also restructured how it handles AI training: instead of carving out free tiers and specific use cases, training permissions now depend on whether each product defaults to opt-out or opt-in. Critically, data retention and training opt-out preferences selected for other Mistral AI Products do not apply to Labs or Preview Models; if you use these experimental models, Mistral AI may use your data for training regardless of your opt-out settings elsewhere. You can decline to use Labs or Preview Models if you do not want your data used for training.
→ Review your Mistral AI product settings to determine whether each product you use is opt-in or opt-out by default for training use.
→ If you use Labs or Preview Models and do not want your data used for training, discontinue use of these experimental models.
→ Update your privacy notices and customer-facing disclosures if they previously stated that data retention opt-outs apply uniformly across all Mistral AI products.
