Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
Enterprise customers Saas Platform users

In an update detected on August 27, 2026, Cohere reorganized and expanded its Enterprise Data Commitments documentation. The change appears to restructure existing content around data control options, opt-out mechanisms for training data, logging and monitoring practices, data retention timelines, and compliance resources. The practical effect is a more detailed explanation of how Cohere handles customer data across its SaaS Platform and deployment options, with explicit disclosure of data retention periods (30 days for logged prompts and generations), filtering of personal information before training use, and the ability to opt out of training data use via dashboard settings.

What this means for you

The updated terms provide explicit disclosure of how Cohere handles customer data on its SaaS Platform. The terms state that logged prompts and generations are automatically deleted after 30 days, unless needed for legal compliance, customer contract obligations, or investigation of potential policy violations. The terms authorize collection of usage data that does not identify customers, and state that Cohere filters common types of personal information before making training data available (if opted in). You can opt out from training data use at any time via the Data Controls setting in your Platform dashboard.

What you can do

Verify your data use preference: log into the Cohere Platform, select 'Data Controls' under Settings, and review the toggle status to confirm whether your prompts and generations are opted in or out of training use.

If you require zero data retention, confirm that you have been approved for that option and verify the setting is active.

Key Clauses Affected

Data Retention and Deletion (SaaS Platform)

Enterprise customers can opt out from use of prompts and generations in model training via dashboard settings at any time.
