ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Cohere extends its policy obligations downstream by requiring customers to both comply themselves and actively impose substantially similar obligations on their end users, creating a chain of accountability.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

High May 24, 2026

The updated policy removes all substantive acceptable use requirements that were previously posted and enforceable. Users no longer have a referenced standard defining what conduct is prohibited on the platform. The removal of enforcement procedures means users cannot verify what conduct may trigger access restriction, suspension, or termination. The elimination of the child safety and sexually explicit content prohibitions from the posted policy creates uncertainty about whether these protections remain in effect through other terms or have been abandoned.
