Cohere restructured its Enterprise Data Commitments document in an update detected on September 10, 2026. The revised version reorganizes and expands existing data governance disclosures including opt-out controls for training data use, logging and monitoring practices, data retention timelines (30-day auto-deletion for most logs), personal information filtering, and compliance certification information. The operational change is primarily organizational and clarifying; core protections and controls remain substantively similar to the prior language.
The updated terms expand disclosure of existing data governance practices rather than introducing new restrictions or permissions. The revised language describes: opt-out controls for training data use (accessible via dashboard settings), automatic deletion of logs after 30 days unless retention is required for legal compliance or flagged usage investigation, filtering of common personal information types before training data use, and monitoring practices for compliance and security. The terms clarify that Cohere does not receive customer inputs or outputs in third-party cloud or private deployment scenarios. You can opt out from training data use by selecting 'Data Controls' in your dashboard settings and toggling the setting to 'Off'.
→ Review Data Controls setting in your Cohere Platform dashboard under Settings menu to confirm your preference for training data use.
→ If you do not wish your prompts and generations to be used in model training, toggle the Data Controls setting to 'Off'.
→ For SaaS Platform customers requiring zero data retention, contact privacy@cohere.com to request a Data Processing Addendum or zero-retention approval.
Updated terms clarify that logged prompts and generations are automatically deleted after 30 days unless needed for legal compliance or flagged for policy violation investigation.
Expanded disclosure of existing opt-out mechanism: users can toggle 'Data Controls' setting to 'Off' in dashboard to prevent training data use.
Clarifies that safety and security teams may review flagged prompts and generations to enforce policy; flagged data may be aggregated (after identifier removal) for safety model evaluation.
