Groq Privacy Policy

This is Groq's privacy policy explaining how the AI inference company collects and uses your personal data when you visit its websites or use its developer console and chat services. The most important thing to know is that Groq shares your personal data — including name, email, usage data, and IP address — with advertising and analytics partners for targeted advertising, and you have the right to opt out of this sharing. California residents can submit a data access or deletion request, and all users can contact privacy@groq.com to exercise their rights.

This Privacy Policy governs Groq, Inc.'s processing of personal data collected through its websites (groq.com, console.groq.com, chat.groq.com, and related properties) and associated services, with Groq acting as data controller; it explicitly excludes Customer Data processed on behalf of enterprise customers via GroqCloud and related APIs, which is governed by a separate Services Agreement and Data Processing Addendum. The policy creates obligations for Groq to honor consumer rights (access, deletion, correction, portability, opt-out of targeted advertising), provide notice of material changes, and restrict processing to enumerated purposes including service delivery, analytics, marketing, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. Notably, Groq explicitly reserves the right to use de-identified or aggregated data for any purpose without restriction, and discloses sharing personal data with analytics providers, advertising partners, and third-party vendors without specifying all recipients by name, creating potential transparency risk. The policy engages GDPR (lawful basis disclosure, data subject rights, international transfer mechanisms for EU/EEA users), CCPA/CPRA (California resident rights including opt-out of sale/sharing, sensitive personal information controls, and non-discrimination), COPPA (children's privacy, 13-year age minimum), and state privacy laws. Material compliance considerations include the dual-role structure (controller for website users, processor for API customers), the use of third-party identity verification services that collect biometric-adjacent data (photo ID, selfie) processed under their own privacy notices rather than Groq's, and the breadth of third-party data sharing for targeted advertising purposes.
