"Cohere does not sell or share enterprise customer data with third parties for commercial purposes.— Excerpt from Cohere's Cohere Enterprise Data Commitments
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: A commitment not to sell customer data engages CCPA's definition of 'sale' of personal information and the associated opt-out rights. Under GDPR, sharing personal data with third parties for commercial purposes would require a legal basis and likely controller-to-controller transfer mechanisms. The FTC Act prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices is relevant if this commitment is not operationally implemented. Relevant enforcement authorities include the California Privacy Protection Agency, EU data protection authorities, and the FTC. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. This is a common commitment in enterprise AI agreements. The key compliance question is whether the commitment extends to all forms of data disclosure (including to sub-processors) or only to direct commercial sale. The document should be reviewed against Cohere's sub-processor list to confirm consistency. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California enterprise customers should confirm that this commitment satisfies CCPA requirements regarding service provider restrictions on data use. EU customers should verify that the commitment is reflected in the data processing agreement's restrictions on sub-processor engagement. Regulated industries (healthcare, financial services) may have additional non-disclosure requirements. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The master service agreement should expressly prohibit Cohere from selling or sharing customer data for commercial purposes and should specify permitted sub-processor disclosures. Procurement teams should request and review the current sub-processor list to confirm alignment with this commitment. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether the no-sharing commitment is documented in the executed contract and whether it covers all relevant categories of customer data including metadata, usage logs, and fine-tuning datasets. Regular review of Cohere's sub-processor list and prompt notification of sub-processor changes are standard due diligence steps for GDPR-compliant vendor management.
