What it is

Cerebras says it does not own your prompts or submitted content, but reserves the right to remove any content at any time and has no obligations to you regarding that content.

This analysis describes what Cerebras'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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

While Cerebras disclaims ownership, the reservation of rights to remove content without obligation and the delegation of API prompt ownership to third-party terms means users have limited contractual protections over their submitted inputs.

Interpretive note: The scope of 'no obligations with respect to such User Content' is ambiguous and does not clarify whether data security or confidentiality obligations apply separately; prompt handling by third-party model providers introduces additional uncertainty.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users should be aware that their submitted prompts and content, while not claimed by Cerebras for API use, may be subject to the terms of the underlying model provider, and Cerebras can remove any content at its discretion without explanation or recourse.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
