Customers grant Replicate a worldwide royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and create derivative works of customer data to provide the service, train customer derivative models, and compile resultant data. Resultant data, defined as aggregated and anonymized usage data, may be used by Replicate and its licensors during and after the agreement term for service improvement and any legal purpose consistent with the privacy policy.

This provision authorizes Replicate to use aggregated and anonymized customer usage data for any legal purpose in perpetuity, including after the agreement ends. The scope of the resultant data license extends beyond service provision to general product development and any legal use, subject to the privacy policy rather than these terms specifically.
Interpretive note: The adequacy of the anonymization process applied to resultant data cannot be assessed from the agreement text alone; whether resultant data qualifies as outside GDPR's scope depends on technical implementation and applicable regulatory guidance.
Under this clause, customer data submitted to the platform is licensed to Replicate for the purposes of output generation, derivative model training, and compilation of resultant data. Resultant data, described as aggregated and anonymized, may be used by Replicate and its licensors for any legal purpose during and after the service relationship, subject to Replicate's Privacy Policy.

"Customer hereby grants Replicate a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (except for the purposes of making the Marketplace Models available to Customer and for purposes of the provision of the Services), royalty-free, license to use, publish, reproduce, copy, store, host, transmit, modify, process, make available, create derivative works of, and display its Customer Data to the extent necessary to provide the Output, train and generate Customer Derivative Models, provide the Services under these Terms, and create and compile Resultant Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Replicate and its licensors shall have the right to collect and analyze Resultant Data and other information relating to the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the Services (in whole or in part) and related systems and technologies, and Replicate and its licensors will be free (during and after the term hereof) to (i) use such Resultant Data to improve and enhance the Services and additional Replicate products (in whole or in part) and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with the Services (in whole or in part), and (ii) utilize any such Resultant Data for any legal purpose in conformance with Replicate's Privacy Policy.Excerpt from Replicate's Acceptable Use Policy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The resultant data provision engages GDPR purpose limitation and data minimization principles (Articles 5(1)(b) and 5(1)(c)) where EU personal data is processed as part of inputs. CCPA and CPRA may apply where California residents' data is involved, particularly regarding the use of personal information for cross-context behavioral purposes derived from service interactions. The terms' statement that resultant data may be used for any legal purpose without a defined scope creates potential tension with GDPR's specific purpose requirement for onward processing. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The agreement defines resultant data as aggregated and anonymized, which in principle places it outside GDPR's personal data scope, but the adequacy of anonymization is a factual and technical determination that cannot be assessed from the agreement text alone. The perpetual license to use resultant data after agreement termination means that data minimization obligations under applicable law may require separate evaluation. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and EEA organizations should assess whether the aggregation and anonymization of usage data meets the standard required to fall outside GDPR's scope under applicable guidance from the European Data Protection Board. California organizations should evaluate CPRA obligations regarding the use of consumers' personal information for service improvement purposes. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Data processing agreements entered into with Replicate should address the scope of resultant data compilation and the post-termination license. Where Replicate acts as a data processor under GDPR, the scope of permitted processing under the resultant data provision should be aligned with the processor's instructions under applicable data processing terms. Procurement teams should request clarification on what anonymization standards are applied before usage data is categorized as resultant data. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Data governance teams should map the flow from customer input data to resultant data compilation and evaluate whether the anonymization process meets regulatory standards in applicable jurisdictions. Organizations that submit sensitive categories of data as model inputs should evaluate whether the customer data license grant is compatible with applicable data protection obligations and consent frameworks.
