Model Training
Dify
MED⚠ CAUTIONHIGH
Only aggregated/anonymized statistics collected for service performance. No explicit training on customer data.
“Operate, maintain and improve our internal operations, systems, Sites, and Products”
The policy does not explicitly address whether user content is used for AI/ML model training. 'Improve Products' could encompass training use, but this is not confirmed or denied.
Microsoft Designer
HIGH⚠ CAUTIONHIGH
Consumer product. Inputs may be stored and processed by Microsoft for safety monitoring.
“As part of our efforts to improve and develop our products, we may use your data to develop and train our AI models. Learn more here .”
Microsoft explicitly reserves the right to use user data to train AI models. This appears twice in the document, suggesting it is a firm policy across products. No opt-out mechanism is described in this excerpt.
