What it is

Cohere may use the text you type into its AI tools and the responses you receive to train and improve its AI models, unless your agreement with Cohere says otherwise.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Any text inputs you submit to Cohere's AI models — including potentially sensitive personal or business information — may be used to train Cohere's AI, which could create data exposure risks that persist beyond your use of the service.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Email privacy@cohere.com requesting deletion of your personal data including any inputs and outputs submitted to Cohere's AI services. Specify your account details and the scope of data you wish deleted.

View original clause language
We may use the content of your interactions with our Services, including inputs you provide and outputs you receive, to train, fine-tune, and improve our AI models and Services, subject to the terms of our applicable agreements.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates GDPR Art. 6 (lawful basis for processing — legitimate interests or consent required for training use), Art. 5 (purpose limitation principle — training may be incompatible with original collection purpose), and Art. 22 (automated decision-making). Under CCPA/CPRA §1798.100, consumers have the right to know about secondary uses of personal information. Canada's PIPEDA Principle 3 requires limiting use to the purpose for which data was collected. The FTC Act Section 5 prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices, which may encompass undisclosed model training uses. (2)
