“For more information on your rights with respect to data we use to train our models, please read our [Consumer FAQs](https://x.ai/legal/faq).”
Watch: Data retention
Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
This creates a meaningful difference between free and paid tiers: free accounts can be terminated for inactivity after one year, while paid accounts cannot be terminated on this specific ground.
This clause restricts users from transferring or assigning their rights under the Terms while granting xAI an unrestricted right of assignment, and declares any unauthorized assignment by users null and void.
The exclusive Texas forum selection and choice-of-law clause applies globally to all users. Non-US users are required to litigate in Texas courts, which can be prohibitively expensive and may conflict with mandatory local law protections (e.g., consumer protection, GDPR).
Scores derived from 54 enriched findings — same verbatim citations as below. AI-generated, not legal advice.
- xAI API's terms explicitly protect your inputs from training use — the policy is affirmatively favorable on this point.
- Your outputs and prompts are explicitly yours — xAI API's terms include affirmatively protective IP language.
- Data handling is conditional — 12 privacy or retention clauses warrant review before using xAI API at scale.

This segment carves out categories of data processing that fall outside this Privacy Policy's scope — specifically business API customer data, employment-related data, and data processed via third-party services — directing those cases to alternative governing policies, which limits xAI's obligations under this document.

Evidence appendix
Showing priority citations first. The full appendix is available for audit trails; not every citation is a severe risk.
"**Similarity of content.** Due to the nature of artificial intelligence, outputs may not be unique, and different users may receive similar output from our Service. Your rights to the Output do not extend to other's rights."
Limits the scope of a user's rights in Output by clarifying that outputs may not be unique and that a user's rights do not extend to identical or similar outputs received by other users.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Please note, however, that your personal information may be exempt from such requests in certain circumstances, for example if we need to keep using your information to comply with our own legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. If an exception applies, we will inform you when responding to your request."
This clause identifies circumstances where personal information may be exempt from data subject rights requests—specifically when retention is required for legal obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims—and obligates xAI to inform the user when such an exception applies.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Please note that we cannot guarantee the factual accuracy of Output from our models. If Output contains factually inaccurate personal information relating to you, you can submit a correction request and we will make reasonable efforts to correct this information — but due to the technical complexity of our models, it may not be feasible for us to do so."
This clause disclaims xAI's ability to guarantee factual accuracy of model outputs and limits the remedy available for inaccurate personal information in outputs to 'reasonable efforts' at correction, explicitly acknowledging that technical complexity may make full correction infeasible.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"**Grokipedia License**. Grokipedia content and material is designated as Material subject to the xAI Community License Agreement ( [https://huggingface.co/xai-org/grok-2/blob/main/LICENSE](https://huggingface.co/xai-org/grok-2/blob/main/LICENSE)). Certain Grokipedia content may also be subject to [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en) ("CC BY-SA 4.0")."
Incorporates by reference the xAI Community License Agreement and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License as the governing licenses for Grokipedia content, establishing separate licensing terms for that specific category of output.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"- **Publicly Available Data:** We use information that is publicly available on the internet to train our models and provide resulting Output. While we do not intentionally seek out personal information, we understand that there is personal information incidentally included in these datasets. For more information on the sources of information used in the development and operation of our large language models, see our [Consumer FAQs](https://x.ai/legal/faq)."
Establishes that xAI uses publicly available internet data, which may incidentally include personal information, to train its models and provide output, constituting a permission for training use of such data.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"- **User Content:** You may provide personal information in prompts and other content you input, such as files, images, audio, voice, video, and other material (“Input”). Outputs of the Service (“Output”), including responses Grok generates, are based on your Input (together, "User Content"). If you include personal information in Inputs you provide to the Service, this information may be reproduced in the Output."
This segment defines 'Input,' 'Output,' and 'User Content' — the core terms covering user prompts, generated responses, and uploaded files — and notes that personal information in inputs may appear in outputs, establishing the definitional framework for all user content-related obligations and rights.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"- Analyze traffic on our sites and on third-party sites."
Grants permission to use cookie-derived data to analyze traffic on xAI's sites and on third-party sites.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"- **Social Media Information:** We have pages on social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, Medium, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn. When you interact with our social media pages, we collect personal information that you choose to provide to us. In addition, the companies that host our social media pages may provide us with aggregate information and analytics about our social media activity."
This segment defines social media information as personal data collected through xAI's social media pages on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn, including aggregate analytics from platform hosts, establishing the scope of this data category.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"- **Public X Posts and Internet Search Data:** The Service uses public posts shared on X, engagement data such as number of followers, and number of views, likes, reposts, shares, and replies and internet search results. In some instances, this data may include personal information."
Defines the category 'Public X Posts and Internet Search Data' by describing its contents (public X posts, engagement data, internet search results) and noting it may include personal information, establishing the scope of this data category.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Do Not Track: Please note that because the effect of "Do Not Track" signals remains unclear, and because there continues to be no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to such a signal, we do not alter our privacy practices when we detect a "Do Not Track" signal from your browser."
This clause disclaims any obligation to honor Do Not Track browser signals by stating that xAI does not alter its privacy practices in response to such signals, citing lack of industry consensus on their meaning and effect.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"**Privacy.** We care about your privacy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that we may collect, use, and disclose your personal information and aggregated, pseudonymized, and/or de-identified data as set forth in our [Privacy Policy](https://x.ai/legal/privacy-policy), and that your personal information will be transferred to, and/or processed in, the United States."
Incorporates the Privacy Policy by reference and discloses that personal information may be collected, used, and disclosed as set forth therein, and informs users that data will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Automated systems that analyze your use of the Service and User Content may be used for business, safety, and compliance purposes. A limited number of our authorized personnel may review how you use the Service and your User Content for specific business purposes, including improving product features, investigating security incidents and potential misuse of our Service, and complying with our legal obligations."
Discloses that automated systems and authorized personnel may review user content and usage for business, safety, and compliance purposes, establishing a permitted data-processing practice and informing users of how their content may be accessed internally.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will publish an updated version and effective date on this page, unless another type of notice is required by applicable law. If you use the Service after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, all of the changes made will apply to your use of the Service."
This clause establishes xAI's procedure for updating the Privacy Policy, obligating it to publish updated versions and effective dates, and creates a binding acceptance mechanism whereby continued use of the service after changes constitutes agreement to the updated terms.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"**Security.** We care about the 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. You acknowledge that you provide your data at your own risk. You will notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your User Account, and you will immediately take action to secure your account, including by changing your password."
Disclaims any guarantee against unauthorized third-party access to user data, places data-provision risk on the user, and imposes an obligation on the user to notify xAI immediately of any security breach and to secure their account.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"As noted in the [Terms of Service](https://x.ai/terms-of-service), our Service is not directed at children or minors under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from them. While we have taken measures to limit undesirable training data and outputs, Grok could produce output that is not appropriate for all ages. Parents of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 years old must agree to the Terms of Service and are urged to exercise care in monitoring the use of this Service by their teenagers. Depending on how a user interacts with the Service, including which modes the user purposely selects, the Service may have content such as some suggestive dialogue, coarse language, crude humor, sexual situations, or violence. If you are a child under the age of 13, please do not attempt to register for or otherwise use our Service. Please contact us [here](mailto:privacy@x.ai) if you are aware that we may have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13."
This clause restricts service access to users 13 and older, incorporates the Terms of Service age requirement by reference, imposes parental consent and monitoring obligations for teenagers aged 13–17, acknowledges moderation measures taken to limit undesirable training data and outputs, and warns that outputs may not be appropriate for all ages. It creates enforceable age-based access restrictions and parental responsibility requirements.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"- Anyone who has been previously removed from the Service."
This segment prohibits previously removed users from accessing the Service, establishing a permanent restriction on re-access after termination.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"- Your account has been inactive for over a year and you do not have a paid account."
Establishes account inactivity exceeding one year as a ground for termination for non-paying users, creating a differential enforcement rule based on account tier status.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.
"Your account has been inactive for over a year and you do not have a paid account."
This creates a meaningful difference between free and paid tiers: free accounts can be terminated for inactivity after one year, while paid accounts cannot be terminated on this specific ground.
AI-generated interpretation, not legal advice.

Two verified clauses intersect on the same subject matter: the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “[**5\. Retention of personal information**](https://x.ai/legal/privacy-policy\#5-retention-of-personal-information)” addresses how long content is retained, and the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “[**2\. Personal information we collect (Notice at collection)**](https://x.ai/legal/privacy-policy\#2-personal-information-we-collect-notice-at-collection)” addresses use of content in connection with model training or service improvement. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.
The Terms of Service, Terms of Service › “[**User Content**](https://x.ai/legal/terms-of-service\#user-content)” describes rights the platform takes in user content, and the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “[**2\.
