This instruction signals that trial and research environments are not designed or secured for personal information processing, placing the responsibility on the user to avoid submitting such data.
Interpretive note: The clause uses 'Please do not,' which is phrased as an instruction rather than a binding prohibition. The legal force of this language is not clarified in the excerpt.
The updated policy removes explicit language describing data retention timelines and deletion request procedures that were previously available. The prior policy stated that Enterprise Users' inputs and outputs were retained for 30 days, that Trial Users and Researchers were not intended to process personal information, and that deletion requests would normally be responded to within one month (up to three months for complex requests). The updated policy now contains only a general reference to 'retention practices' without specifying these timelines, response windows, or user-type distinctions. Users cannot determine from the updated policy what retention periods apply to their account category or what timeline to expect for deletion requests.
