AI21 Labs can use the text or data you send through their services to train and improve their AI models, unless your enterprise contract specifically says they cannot.
This analysis describes what AI21 Labs's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The clause establishes AI21's operational right to incorporate user-generated data into its model development and improvement processes. The provision specifies that this authorization is subject to modification only through separate written agreement, creating a default data use scope that applies absent a specific contractual carve-out.
The updated terms remove the explicit "Your Opt-Out Rights" button that previously allowed users to opt out of data sales and targeted advertising. In its place, the revised language establishes a general cookie consent framework requiring users to click "Accept" to allow cookies for site navigation, usage analysis, and marketing efforts. Users retain the ability to choose not to allow certain cookie types, but the prior dedicated opt-out mechanism for data sales and targeted advertising is no longer explicitly described in the accessible terms interface. If you wish to control cookie preferences, you can click on the cookie settings to modify consent for different types of cookies; however, strictly necessary cookies cannot be declined as they are required for core website functionality.

View full change record →Your inputs — including potentially sensitive business data or personal information — may be used by AI21 to train their AI models unless you negotiate a specific contractual prohibition, which is only realistically available to enterprise customers.
How other platforms handle this
To improve the quality of our services, we analyse texts submitted for translation. We ensure that this analysis cannot be traced back to individual users by anonymising the data before analysis. DeepL Pro subscribers' texts are not used to train our machine translation systems.
After registration, you may create, upload or transmit files, documents, videos, images, data or information as part of your use of the Service (collectively, "User Content").

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates GDPR Art. 6 (lawful basis for processing personal data for training purposes — legitimate interest or consent), Art. 5(1)(b) (purpose limitation), and Art. 13 (transparency at collection).
