In an update detected on September 9, 2026, Cohere restructured its Enterprise Data Commitments document. The revised language reorders and reframes existing data protection provisions, adding an introductory statement that 'Cohere maintains robust controls to protect enterprise data and respect our enterprise customers' rights regarding their data.' The substantive terms regarding opt-out controls, data retention, logging, monitoring, and compliance certifications remain operationally consistent with the prior version. The change does not alter the core data handling practices, retention periods, or deployment options available to enterprise customers.

What this means for you

The updated terms reframe Cohere's existing data protection provisions under an introductory statement affirming robust controls and respect for customer data rights. The substantive terms governing data retention, opt-out mechanisms, logging and monitoring, and deployment options remain operationally equivalent to the prior version. Customers retain the ability to opt out of data use in model training through dashboard settings and benefit from automatic 30-day deletion of logged prompts and generations unless flagged for policy violation or required by law.

What you can do

Review your Data Controls settings in the Cohere Platform to confirm your opt-out preference for training data use remains as configured.

Key Clauses Affected

Data retention and deletion

Automatic 30-day deletion of logged prompts and generations remains in effect unless legally required or flagged for policy violation.

Opt-out from training data use

Customers retain the ability to opt out of prompts and generations being used to train Cohere models through dashboard settings.

Deployment options

Private deployment and third-party cloud deployment options remain available with no customer data flowing to Cohere for those deployments.
