Article summary

Mistral allows users to opt out of their input or output data being used for training, with the option to disable data sharing for Vibe and API services through the Admin panel or mobile application settings. The default setting for data sharing varies by plan, with Enterprise customers opted out by default and Team plan users able to control data sharing through their organization's admin settings. Users can opt out of data training at any time, and Mistral will no longer use their data for training purposes once they have done so. The company provides various settings and options for users to manage their data and privacy.

What commenters say

• Some users are disappointed to find that data collection is enabled by default, even for paid plans, and expect more control over their data.
• The terminology of 'opt-in' and 'opt-out' can be confusing, with some users interpreting 'opt-in by default' to mean that data collection is disabled by default.
• There is a need for clearer and more transparent language around data collection and privacy settings, to avoid confusing users and ensure that they can make informed decisions.
• Some users do not trust companies to keep their promises regarding data privacy, and believe that external audits and legal protections are necessary to ensure that companies respect users' privacy.
• Others argue that users should simply not use products that do not meet their privacy standards, rather than trying to change the companies' policies.
• There is a desire for more control over data sharing and privacy, particularly for organizations and teams, and for companies to prioritize transparency and user control in their data collection practices.
• The use of 'opt-in by default' to describe a setting where data collection is enabled by default is seen as misleading by some, and as a way for companies to avoid taking responsibility for protecting users' privacy.
