Impact Summary

Medium Positive for users
Affected users
Enterprise customers Saas platform users Cohere platform users

Cohere revised its Enterprise Data Commitments to document data handling practices across deployment options. The updated terms add explicit language describing opt-out controls for training data use, data retention and deletion procedures (30-day automatic deletion for logged prompts and generations unless flagged for policy violation), logging and monitoring practices for compliance and security, and special provisions for zero-retention deployments. The change establishes what data Cohere retains, how long it is retained, and what actions customers can take to control training data use within the Cohere SaaS Platform.

3 new obligations

Enterprise customers: Your prompts and outputs are automatically deleted after 30 days unless there is a policy violation or legal requirement to keep them.

Enterprise customers: Cohere logs and monitors your SaaS Platform use to check for compliance violations, security risks, and policy violations.

Enterprise customers: You can disable the use of your prompts and outputs for Cohere model training by toggling 'Data Controls' to 'Off' in your dashboard settings.

What this means for you

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 policy violation or retention is required by law or contract. The terms authorize monitoring and logging of platform use for compliance, security, and policy enforcement, and permit Cohere's safety team to review flagged content to detect misuse. You can opt out from training data use in your dashboard under 'Data Controls' by toggling the setting to 'Off'.

What you can do

Review 'Data Controls' setting in your Cohere Platform dashboard to confirm training data opt-out status matches your data governance policy.
