ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users who subscribe and then decide to cancel will lose any prepaid subscription value for the remaining period, which is a material financial consideration when evaluating whether to subscribe.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement grants xAI a permanent, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use all User Content, including chat inputs and outputs, for product development and model training by default, with no expiration.

You can adjust your model training preferences by logging into your xAI account and changing your data controls settings.
