Cohere revised product description language in its privacy policy webpage, changing two model descriptions. The Embed model description was updated from 'Search and discovery model' to 'Semantic representation model', and the Rerank model description changed from 'Semantic search ranking' to 'Retrieval optimization model'. These are clarifications of product marketing language rather than substantive changes to privacy practices or data handling.
