What it is

If your business submits any feedback about Mistral AI's products, Mistral AI can use that feedback, plus any data and outputs associated with it, in any way it chooses, permanently and without any payment or IP restriction.

This analysis describes what Mistral AI's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The Feedback license extends beyond the feedback itself to include the Customer Data and Outputs associated with that feedback, and explicitly excludes these from confidentiality protections, meaning that sensitive business data submitted alongside feedback may be used without restriction.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Organizations that routinely provide feedback on AI outputs should be aware that the associated Customer Data and Outputs lose their confidential status and are licensed to Mistral AI without restriction, which may create risk if sensitive or proprietary data is included in feedback submissions.

"
Customer may provide feedback to Mistral AI in connection with its use of the Mistral AI Products (collectively, 'Feedback'). By providing Feedback, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Mistral AI may use, copy, disclose, license, distribute, and exploit such Feedback, along with the Customer Data and Output associated with such Feedback, in any manner without any obligation, royalty, or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. For clarity, Feedback will not be considered Confidential Information of Customer, and nothing in these Terms will limit Mistral AI's right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products, services, or technology, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR if personal data is embedded in Customer Data or Outputs associated with Feedback, as the broad license grant may constitute a new processing purpose requiring its own lawful basis. The provision also interacts with trade secret law and confidentiality obligations that commercial customers may have to their own clients if Customer Data includes third-party information. Enforcement authorities include EU supervisory authorities and, for US customers, the FTC regarding unfair commercial practices. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium to High. The explicit carve-out of Feedback-associated data from Customer Confidential Information creates a material risk for organizations that submit Feedback without first sanitizing the associated Customer Data and Outputs. The unlimited, restriction-free license scope is broader than typical feedback license provisions that are narrowly scoped to product improvement. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA organizations should assess whether the Feedback license grant constitutes a transfer of personal data to a controller for new purposes without adequate legal basis. Organizations in professional services (legal, financial, healthcare) face heightened risk if client data is included in Feedback-associated Customer Data. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations should review internal policies governing when employees or systems are permitted to submit Feedback to Mistral AI and ensure that Feedback workflows exclude confidential Customer Data. The provision's assertion that associated data is not Confidential Information may create conflict with confidentiality obligations in the Customer's own downstream contracts. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should implement Feedback submission controls that prevent sensitive Customer Data from being associated with Feedback, update internal AI usage policies to reflect the Feedback license scope, and assess whether any existing data subject consents or client confidentiality agreements are affected by this provision.
