“Advertisement Cookies are used mainly to collect information about your online interactions on and off our Website. We and our third party advertising partners use this data to build a profile of your interests...”
“It also does not cover personal information that we handle as a service provider to our enterprise customers.”
“The use of cookies for this purpose may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under California privacy law.”
“This Policy does not apply to Customer Data (i.e. inputs and outputs) associated with the use of Cohere Products by Enterprise Users under an enterprise agreement.”
“Enterprise Users can control how we train on their data and can request a DPA if personal information will be processed in the course of using Cohere Products.”
“If you are an End User . In this case we are usually the processor or service provider and we are generally not the responsible 'decision maker' in relation to your personal information.”
This Privacy Policy explains what Cohere collects and does with your data when you use its products directly — but it does not cover you if you are an enterprise customer, an end user of an enterprise's Cohere-powered product, or accessing Cohere through a private deployment. Cohere and its advertising partners track your online activity across sites to build an interest profile, and Cohere says this may count as selling or sharing your data under California law. If you are a Trial User or Researcher, Cohere may use what you submit for research and development, so Cohere advises you not to enter personal information in those environments.
Cohere's Privacy Policy establishes the scope, data practices, and user rights applicable to individuals who interact with Cohere directly, while explicitly excluding from its coverage Enterprise Users' Customer Data (inputs and outputs governed by enterprise agreements), End Users for whom Cohere acts as processor or service provider, and data processed in Private Deployments or on third-party managed AI services. For those within scope — including Trial Users and Researchers — Cohere may use submitted inputs and outputs for research and development, and both Cohere and its third-party advertising partners use cross-site behavioral data to build interest profiles, a practice Cohere acknowledges may constitute a sale or sharing under California privacy law. The Policy grants Enterprise Users control over how Cohere trains on their data and generally retains Enterprise User inputs and outputs on the Platform for 30 days. Cohere's website honors the Global Privacy Control signal on qualifying browsers as an opt-out of cookie-based data sale or sharing.
For individual users within scope of this Policy, Cohere and its third-party advertising partners build interest profiles using behavioral data collected on and off Cohere's website, and Cohere acknowledges this cookie-based advertising activity may qualify as a sale or sharing of personal data. Trial Users and Researchers should be aware that their inputs and outputs may be used by Cohere for research and development, and Cohere instructs them not to submit personal information as inputs. Users who want to opt out of cookie-based data sale or sharing can activate the Global Privacy Control signal on a qualifying browser, which Cohere's website will treat as an opt-out without requiring a separate manual request.
