When you use AI models like Claude, ChatGPT, or others through Poe, your interactions may also be governed by those providers' own terms and privacy policies, and Poe is not responsible for how those models behave or handle your data.
This analysis describes what Poe'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 agreement states that using third-party AI models through Poe subjects you to those providers' own terms and privacy policies, meaning your data practices may be governed by multiple overlapping agreements depending on which AI model you interact with.
Interpretive note: The specific third-party AI model providers to whom data is transmitted are not enumerated in the terms, and the nature and scope of data sharing with each provider cannot be fully assessed from the terms alone; users should consult Poe's Privacy Policy for additional disclosure.
Conversations you have with specific AI models through Poe, such as Anthropic's Claude or OpenAI's models, may be transmitted to and processed by those third-party providers under their own terms; users should review the privacy policies of individual AI model providers accessible through Poe.

"Poe provides access to AI models and services operated by third parties. Your use of third-party AI models through Poe is subject to the applicable third party's terms of service and privacy policy. Poe is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party AI models.— Excerpt from Poe's Poe Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The multi-party data flow from user to Poe to third-party AI model provider raises questions under GDPR regarding controller and processor roles and whether adequate contractual protections (such as Standard Contractual Clauses for EU data transfers to US-based AI providers) are in place across the full data chain. CCPA requires disclosure of categories of third parties to whom personal information is disclosed; a general reference to third-party AI model providers without enumeration may not satisfy this specificity requirement. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The disclaimer that Poe is not responsible for third-party AI model practices combined with the content license means that user data may be processed by multiple entities each with their own data governance frameworks. Enterprise users have no contractual visibility into how downstream AI model providers handle submitted content. The disclaimer of responsibility for third-party AI model accuracy and practices may also have implications for regulated industries where AI output accuracy is subject to fiduciary or professional standards. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users face heightened exposure under GDPR and UK GDPR regarding whether international data transfers to US-based third-party AI model providers are protected by adequate transfer mechanisms. California users should assess whether CCPA disclosure requirements regarding specific third-party data recipients are satisfied by Poe's privacy policy. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams should identify which third-party AI model providers are accessible through Poe and assess whether the data governance terms of each provider are compatible with internal data classification and handling policies. The chain of data processing from Poe to third-party providers may require separate DPAs with each provider. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should map the data flows from user input through Poe to each accessible third-party AI model provider and assess whether transfer mechanisms, consent disclosures, and data minimization requirements are satisfied at each stage of that chain.
