What it is

If Inflection AI is sold, merges with another company, or goes through bankruptcy, your personal conversation data and account information can be transferred to the new owner without your individual consent.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your personal data, including conversation history with Inflection AI products, could be transferred to an acquiring company — potentially one with materially different privacy standards — without your individual knowledge or consent at the time of transfer.

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.
  • Export Your Data
    Request a copy of all your personal data held by Inflection AI by emailing privacy@inflection.ai before any corporate transaction occurs, so you have a record of what data exists.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Given that Inflection AI has already undergone significant corporate restructuring (with key personnel and assets having moved to Microsoft), this clause creates a concrete and near-term risk that user data could be transferred to a new entity with different privacy practices.

View original clause language
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other similar corporate transaction, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity or successor in interest as part of the transaction.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Corporate transaction data transfers implicate GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests), Art. 13/14 (transparency obligations), and potentially Art. 49 (transfers to third countries if the acquirer is non-EU). Under CCPA/CPRA, consumers retain rights to know and delete even after a business transfer. FTC Act Section 5 prohibits retroactive material changes to privacy terms without adequate notice and consent, as established in the FTC's enforcement action against Facebook (2012) and subsequent guidance. The FTC's 2014 RadioShack bankruptcy enforcement action established that customer data cannot be transferred to acquirers in violation of original privacy promises.
