The clause establishes a default data usage practice for model training across Mistral's free tier products, with carve-outs for commercial and enterprise offerings. This creates distinct data handling regimes based on service tier and connection type.
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.
View change record →Under this provision, user-generated inputs and outputs may be incorporated into model training processes by default for free service users, unless an affirmative opt-out mechanism is exercised. Paid and enterprise users operate under different terms where model training on their data does not occur.
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"...
These features are off by default and, should you choose to enable them, you can always disable these features.
"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
