You own the code Tabnine generates for you, but by using the service you automatically give Tabnine a permanent, worldwide, free license to use your code inputs and the AI's outputs to improve their product.
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
The provision allocates ownership rights while establishing Tabnine's operational authority to incorporate user-generated content and outputs into service development and improvement. This dual structure permits Tabnine to use the aggregate of user inputs and outputs as development material while preserving individual user ownership claims to specific outputs.
Every code snippet you type into Tabnine and every AI-generated suggestion you receive can be used by Tabnine to improve its AI, meaning confidential or proprietary code may feed into a shared commercial AI model without additional restriction.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates EU GDPR Art. 6 (lawful basis) and Art. 22 (automated decision-making) if personal data is embedded in code inputs. It also engages trade secret law under the EU Trade Secrets Directive (2016/943) and the US Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA, 18 U.S.C. § 1836) if proprietary code is transmitted. For US government contractors, DFARS and FAR clauses may restrict submission of government-sensitive code to commercial AI systems. The EU AI Act's transparency obligations for general-purpose AI systems may require Tabnine to disclose training data provenance.
