Cohere Privacy Policy

This is Cohere's privacy policy explaining how the AI company collects and uses your personal information when you use its website and AI language model services. The most important thing to know is that Cohere may use the text inputs and outputs you submit to its AI models to train and improve those models, meaning content you type into Cohere's services could be used to develop its AI. If you are concerned about your data being used for AI training, you should review Cohere's data processing terms and contact privacy@cohere.com to inquire about opting out or requesting deletion.

Cohere's privacy policy governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information through cohere.ai and its AI-powered language model platform Services, with legal basis rooted in contractual necessity, legitimate interests, and consent depending on jurisdiction. The policy obligates Cohere to collect account data, usage data, payment information, and user-generated content (including inputs and outputs to AI models), and permits sharing with third-party service providers, business partners, and in corporate transaction contexts. A notably unusual provision permits Cohere to use customer inputs and outputs from the Services to train and improve its AI models, subject to applicable terms of service — this creates material risk for enterprise customers who may inadvertently expose confidential data to model training pipelines. The policy engages GDPR (for EU/EEA users, referencing data subject rights and transfers), PIPEDA/CPPA (for Canadian users given Cohere's Canadian incorporation), and CCPA/CPRA (for California residents), with explicit acknowledgment of cross-border data transfers. Material compliance considerations include the adequacy of transfer mechanisms for EU personal data, the scope of 'legitimate interests' relied upon for AI model training, and the absence of an explicit opt-out mechanism for training data use in the publicly accessible policy text.
