Summary

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.

Analysis

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.

What this means for you

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.

12 important changes detected

13 versions captured · Last updated: September 2026

What changed In an update detected on September 10, 2026, Cohere modified the headline and introductory messaging on its privacy policy page. The previous headline 'The state of sovereign AI adoption: What enterprise leaders need to know' was replaced with 'AI for Empowerment: Your freedom', and a new tagline 'See how AI gives you more time for what truly moves you' was added. These are changes to marketing messaging and page presentation rather than substantive privacy policy language or user-facing data practices.
Why this matters This change updates the marketing and introductory messaging displayed on Cohere's privacy policy page but does not alter substantive privacy policy language, data collection practices, or user rights. The revised headline and tagline are presentational changes to how the policy is framed to users rather than modifications to underlying data governance or privacy terms.

What changed Cohere revised product description language in its privacy policy webpage, changing two model descriptions. The Embed model description was updated from 'Search and discovery model' to 'Semantic representation model', and the Rerank model description changed from 'Semantic search ranking' to 'Retrieval optimization model'. These are clarifications of product marketing language rather than substantive changes to privacy practices or data handling.
Why this matters This change updates marketing language describing Cohere's model products and does not alter any privacy practices, data collection, retention, or processing terms. The updated descriptions clarify the technical function of the Embed and Rerank models but create no new obligations or restrictions for users.
