Summary

Fireworks AI's privacy policy explains what data the company collects and how it uses and shares it. Fireworks AI will not use your inputs to train its AI models unless you explicitly opt in, and by default does not log your prompts for open models. However, third-party advertising networks and business partners can track your activity and use your information for their own marketing purposes.

Analysis

This privacy policy establishes Fireworks AI's data collection, use, sharing, and retention practices, along with user rights and restrictions. Fireworks AI collects and stores User Content—including embedded personal data—to provide its Services, but commits not to use prompts, training data, or API inputs to train or improve its AI models without explicit user opt-in, and does not log or store prompt or generation data for open models absent opt-in. Personal data is transferred internationally, and third-party business partners and advertising networks may receive or independently collect user information for their own commercial and advertising purposes. Users may access, download, or delete their data at any time through the Services, and Fireworks AI commits to reasonable-efforts notification of material changes to its data use or disclosure practices.

What this means for you

Your prompts, training data, and API inputs will not be used to train or improve Fireworks AI's AI models unless you actively opt in, and your prompt or generation data for open models is not logged or stored by default. Any personal data you include in User Content is collected and used by Fireworks AI to deliver the Service. Third-party advertising networks and Fireworks AI's business partners may use your information—including through cross-site and cross-device tracking—for their own commercial and advertising purposes. If Fireworks AI learns you are under 16, it will promptly delete your personal data. You can access, download, or delete your data at any time directly through the Services.
