When you use NVIDIA AI tools such as NIM, content you submit may be used to train or improve NVIDIA's AI models, though the policy states opt-out options may be available.
This analysis describes what NVIDIA NIM'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
The policy authorizes use of user-submitted content for AI model training, which means inputs to NVIDIA AI services could contribute to model development; the scope of data retained after opt-out is not fully specified in the policy.
Interpretive note: The exact scope of data used for AI training and the operational effect of the opt-out mechanism are not fully specified in the available policy text, creating uncertainty about what data is excluded after opt-out is exercised.
The updated Privacy Policy removes all disclosure language about how NVIDIA and third-party partners use cookies and other tracking technologies. Previously, the policy stated that cookies were used 'to collect and record information' for 'performance improvement, analytics, and to assist in our marketing efforts' and described consent mechanisms like 'Accept All' and 'Manage Settings'. The updated policy contains no equivalent disclosure of these tracking practices, data collection methods, or consent options. You can review NVIDIA's full Privacy Policy at their Privacy Center, though the updated version no longer describes cookie and tracking technology practices that were previously disclosed.
