Mistral AI uses the messages you type and the AI's responses from the free version of Le Chat to train its AI models, unless you actively opt out in your account settings. Paid enterprise and API customers are automatically excluded from this.

The clause establishes a data utilization practice that differentiates service tiers: model training on user interactions occurs only for free-tier users who have not exercised an opt-out mechanism. This operational distinction creates separate data handling pathways based on subscription status and user election.
The updated policy now explicitly includes data accessed through third-party services and integrations users connect to Mistral AI Products as 'Input' data subject to collection and use. The policy removed its prior statement that Input and Output data are not used to train AI models when using Le Chat Enterprise or paid versions of Mistral APIs. This creates operational ambiguity: users of paid services and Enterprise customers no longer have a documented commitment that their data will be excluded from model training, though the privacy policy does not affirmatively state that model training now occurs. The policy also changed language describing product improvement from 'aggregated and anonymous statistics' to 'aggregated or anonymous datasets or statistics,' broadening the stated scope of what can be collected for improvement purposes.

How other platforms handle this
the Company reserves the right, but not the obligation, to review or monitor Inputs and Outputs using automated and manual tools.
If you use a feature of our Services that is integrated with, facilitated by, or otherwise assisted by artificial intelligence...your inputs are "User Content" and the outputs of that service are "Chegg Content"...
you acknowledge that other users of our Services may, through no fault of Superhuman, use inputs that are similar to yours and, as a result, receive the same or similar outputs as your Outputs.
"To train our artificial intelligence models (large language models) to answer questions, generate text, translate, summarize and correct text, classify text, analyze feelings, etc. according to context, Inputs (e-mails, letters, reports, computer code, etc.) and Outputs. [...] Your Input and Output, subject to your opt-out. Please note that we do not use your Input and Output to train our artificial intelligence models when you use Le Chat Enterprise or the paid version of our APIs. If you connect a third-party service to the Mistral AI Products, we do not use this third-party service to train our artificial intelligence models.Excerpt from Mistral AI's Privacy Policy
