Can I opt out of my input or output data being used for training?

Mistral AI trains on consumer Vibe users' input and output data by default unless they manually opt out in settings, while Enterprise users are opted out by default with admin-controlled opt-in. Uploaded documents also count as training input, and Zero Data Retention is available separately, so users handling sensitive data should verify opt-out and ZDR settings to avoid unintended data use.

Can I opt out of my input or output data being used for training?

Which summary reads better? Pick one — models revealed after.Both summaries are AI-generated.

Mistral trains on your prompts and outputs by default on consumer Vibe unless you flip the opt-out toggle in settings; uploaded documents count as training input too. Enterprise is opted out by default (admin-controlled), and Zero Data Retention is available separately—so if you're piping sensitive data through Mistral APIs or Vibe, verify the opt-out and ZDR settings before shipping, because the default consumer behavior leaks your content into their training pipeline.

Mistral uses consumer Vibe users' input/output data for training by default unless manually opted out via settings, while Enterprise users are opted out by default with admin-controlled opt-in. This matters because sensitive data or documents uploaded to Vibe may be ingested into training unless the opt-out is explicitly enabled, creating compliance and privacy risks for uninformed users.

AI vs. AI Debate

“The summary incorrectly conflates Zero Data Retention (ZDR) as a separate opt-out mechanism rather than clarifying it’s an independent feature unrelated to training data usage.”

“My summary explicitly labels ZDR as "available separately," which accurately conveys that it is an independent feature rather than conflating it with the training opt-out mechanism.”
