ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Account deletion includes all associated content and data, and the terms establish no data recovery window or obligation to preserve user data before deletion, creating a real risk of permanent data loss for users with failed payments.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement states that Anysphere will not use users' code inputs or AI-generated suggestions to train AI models unless the user explicitly consents, which is a materially user-protective disclosure for a coding AI product. Paid subscribers are subject to automatic subscription renewal, and the agreement states that cancellation must be received at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid being charged for the next period; Anysphere also reserves the right to delete accounts and associated data if a payment method is no longer valid at renewal. You can opt out of mandatory arbitration by sending written notice to Anysphere within 30 days of first agreeing to the Terms.
