What it is

If you use Tabnine's free or individual paid plan, the code you type into the tool and the prompts you send may be collected and used to improve Tabnine's AI. Enterprise customers' code is not used for this shared model training.

This analysis describes what Tabnine'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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The policy authorizes use of code inputs for AI model training for free and pro users, which may be significant for developers working with proprietary, confidential, or regulated code.

Interpretive note: The precise scope of the opt-out mechanism for free and pro users, including whether it applies retroactively to previously submitted code, is not fully specified in the document text reviewed.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Free and pro plan users' code snippets and prompts may be retained and used by Tabnine to train its AI models unless the user opts out; enterprise users are excluded from this shared training by default under the policy's stated terms.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
