Mistral AI's Privacy Policy was updated in an update detected on September 5, 2026, with an effective date of September 3, 2026. The policy revised its description of the Memory feature, which is transitioning to a Knowledge Base feature. The updated terms now state that previous Memories will be retained in Knowledge Base, and the policy removes the requirement that users provide explicit consent for sensitive data stored as Memories; instead, the Knowledge Base will not seek to store sensitive data included in user input. Users retain the ability to turn off the feature, access, add, delete, or edit their stored data through settings.
Consumers: Users no longer need to provide explicit consent for sensitive data in Memories because the system will not store sensitive data in the first place.

The policy now states that Knowledge Base will not seek to store sensitive data included in user input, removing the prior explicit-consent requirement for sensitive Memories.
