Summary: DeepSeek’s terms and privacy policy suggest that it is not suitable for sensitive data due to potential data storage and protection concerns as data is stored and processed in China. While there appears to be limited use of data for training with secure encryption and de-identification, the user retains ownership of the outputs. The terms do not provide definitive safety for sensitive data, allow for some data usage in training, and assign output ownership to the user.

Is your data used for training? The terms allow for minimal use of inputs and outputs for service maintenance, operation, development, or improvement, with secure encryption and strict de-identification.

Who owns the output? Section 4.2 seems to clearly assign ownership of Outputs to the user, while Section 4.3 grants DeepSeek a limited license to use Inputs and Outputs for service improvement under strict conditions. The option for users to refuse this license is mentioned, but the terms could benefit from more clarity on the refusal process.

How long is your data stored? Data is retained as necessary for service provision and other purposes set out in the privacy policy, with different retention periods depending on the type of information and its use.

Security measures overview: DeepSeek maintains commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect user information, although no system is fully secure.

Your rights and control: Users have rights to access, change, oppose, request a copy of authorization, file complaints, withdraw consent, limit collection and use of personal information, and request deletion.

Special considerations: Outputs provided by the service are generated by an AI model and as always may contain errors or omissions, and should not be treated as professional advice.

Conclusion: DeepSeek’s terms and policies provide a framework for AI usage and data protection, with specific provisions for data usage in training, user ownership of outputs, and user rights. However, the suitability for sensitive data is questionable due to potential data storage and protection concerns. Users should exercise caution and not rely solely on the outputs for professional advice.

Summary: The xAI terms indicate that sensitive data may not be suitable for use with their services. While users have the option to opt-out, data may be used for training by default. Users retain ownership of their data and have rights as detailed in the terms.

Is your data used for training? Consumer terms indicate that user data can be used for training purposes, but there is an option to opt-out. "You grant, and you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant, to us, under all of your intellectual property rights, an irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), fully paid, royalty-free, and worldwide right and license to use, copy, store, modify, distribute, reproduce, publish, list information regarding, make derivative works of, and display your Input and Output (collectively, “Content”): (i) to maintain and provide the Service; (ii) to improve our products and the Service and for our other business purposes, such as data analysis, customer research, developing new products or features, and identifying usage trends; and (iii) to perform such other actions as described in our Privacy Policy or as authorized by you in connection with your use of the Service."

Who owns the output? Users retain ownership of the output generated using xAI's services. "As between us and you, you own the Output." (Source: Terms of Service - Consumer, Section: Intellectual Property)

How long is your data stored? The terms do not explicitly state the data retention period. It is indicated that data may be used for various purposes, including service maintenance and improvement, which suggests that data may be retained as long as necessary for these purposes.

Security measures overview: The terms acknowledge the importance of data security but also admit that they cannot guarantee protection against unauthorized access. "We care about the integrity and security of your personal information. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or to use your data for improper purposes." (Source: Terms of Service - Consumer, Section: Privacy; Data Security)

Your rights and control: Users have the right to opt-out of their data being used to train xAI's models. "If you do not want us to use your Content to train our models, you have the option to opt out by updating your account settings." (Source: Terms of Service - Consumer, Section: Intellectual Property)

Special considerations: The terms include a clause about "Unhinged Mode," which is described as beta technology intended to be objectionable and offensive. This clause is unique and noteworthy, especially in the context of AI ethics and usage. "“UNHINGED MODE” IS A BETA TECHNOLOGY INTENDED TO BE OBJECTIONABLE, INAPPROPRIATE, AND OFFENSIVE, MUCH LIKE AN AMATEUR STAND-UP COMIC WHO IS STILL LEARNING THE CRAFT." (Source: Terms of Service - Consumer, Section: Intellectual Property)

Conclusion: Overall, xAI's terms and policies provide a framework for AI usage and data protection, with specific provisions for user control and data rights. However, the suitability of their services for sensitive data is questionable, and the terms lack explicit details on data retention periods.
