In an update detected on August 18, 2026, Cohere revised its Enterprise Data Commitments to explicitly describe data handling controls across its deployment options. The updated terms state that in third-party cloud and private deployments, Cohere does not receive customer inputs or outputs; that users can opt out of data use in training via dashboard settings; that prompts and generations are automatically deleted after 30 days unless flagged for policy violations or retained under contract; and that Cohere logs and monitors SaaS Platform usage for compliance and security. The change establishes specific operational procedures for data retention, logging, and user controls rather than materially altering the substantive scope of data collection or use.
The updated terms establish specific data handling practices for Cohere's SaaS Platform: customer prompts and generations are automatically deleted after 30 days unless flagged for potential policy violations or required by law or contract; Cohere logs and monitors usage for compliance and security; and safety teams may review flagged content to enforce policies. The terms state that data intended for training purposes may be retained separately according to your agreement, and that you can opt out of training data use by toggling 'Data Controls' off in your dashboard settings. You can verify and adjust these settings at any time under Settings > Data Controls in the Cohere Platform.
→ Review your organization's data retention requirements and confirm that Cohere's 30-day auto-deletion period aligns with your compliance obligations.
→ If you wish to opt out of training data use, navigate to Settings > Data Controls in the Cohere Platform and toggle the setting to 'Off'.
