High severity

What it is

When you click thumbs up or thumbs down on a Mistral AI response, you are granting Mistral AI permission to use not just your rating but also the full conversation that prompted it for AI training — regardless of your other training opt-out settings.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Clicking any feedback button on Le Chat or other Mistral AI Products creates a separate, unconditional grant allowing Mistral AI to use your full conversation — including your prompts — for AI model training, even if you have opted out of general training.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Providing feedback triggers a separate training consent that includes your full Input and Output — users who have opted out of general training but click feedback buttons are still contributing their conversations to AI training.

View original clause language
For certain Mistral AI Products, such as Le Chat, you have the option to provide feedback, such as by selecting "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" ("Feedback"). By providing Feedback, you acknowledge and agree that Mistral AI may use your Feedback, along with the associated Input and Output data, for the purpose of training our artificial intelligence models and improving the Mistral AI Products.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates CCPA §1798.100 (right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used), FTC Act Section 5 (deceptive practices — users may not understand that a thumbs up/down click creates a broad data training grant), and UK GDPR Article 7 (conditions for consent — consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous).
