Mistral AI uses part of your IP address to infer your location and tailor AI responses based on where you are. You can turn this off in your account settings.

Your IP address, which can reveal your approximate geographic location, is used to modify the content of AI responses you receive, creating a form of location-based profiling that you may not expect from an AI assistant service.
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.
