Cohere restructured its Enterprise Data Commitments document detected on August 30, 2026. The company removed and re-added substantially identical language describing its data handling practices across deployment options, logging and monitoring procedures, data retention controls, and compliance certifications. The operational difference is minimal; the revised version adds an opening statement that 'Cohere maintains robust controls to protect enterprise data and respect our enterprise customers' rights regarding their data,' but the core provisions regarding opt-out mechanisms, 30-day deletion timelines, and flagged-content retention remain substantively unchanged.

What this means for you

The updated document restructures how Cohere describes its enterprise data practices but does not materially alter the underlying operational provisions. Cohere continues to offer opt-out from data use in model training, automatic deletion of logged prompts and generations after 30 days (with exceptions for legal compliance, contract compliance, or flagged misuse), and private deployment options where Cohere does not receive customer inputs or outputs. You can opt out from training data use in your dashboard settings under 'Data Controls' at any time by adjusting the toggle to 'Off'.

What you can do

Review the restructured document to confirm that stated data handling practices align with your organization's privacy notice and data processing agreements.

Verify that your opt-out status for training data use is set according to your organization's preferences in the 'Data Controls' section under Settings.

Key Clauses Affected

Data Retention and Deletion

Cohere automatically deletes logged prompts and generations after 30 days unless retention is required by legal obligation, customer contract, or for flagged misuse investigation; this provision remains unchanged in the restructured document.

Opt-Out from Training Data Use

Customers can opt out from prompts and generations being used to train Cohere models in dashboard settings at any time; this mechanism remains unchanged.

Opening Statement on Data Protection

The revised document adds an opening statement affirming that 'Cohere maintains robust controls to protect enterprise data and respect our enterprise customers' rights regarding their data,' which was not present in the prior version.
