Abacus.AI publishes a clear no-training commitment and a zero-retention arrangement with foundation model providers, but its policy carries no version date, no breach notice, no sub-processor disclosure, and leans on the defunct Privacy Shield for transfers.

What Abacus.AI's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

Strongest disclosure

An unconditional no-train statement covering prompts, uploads and API data, paired with a stated zero data retention policy for all third-party and foundation models where data is "deleted immediately after processing".

Weakest area

The policy has no effective date, no version history and no change-notice commitment, and it is entirely silent on breach notification and on any sub-processor list or DPA.

Regional gap

Portability and correction rights appear only inside a block prefaced "Subject to the GDPR and applicable law's limitations"; the US-default CCPA section offers only know, delete, opt-out and non-discrimination.

Stale safeguard

International transfers rely on the Privacy Shield Framework, invalidated in 2020, with no standard contractual clauses or adequacy decision named as a replacement.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: a way to opt out of training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: a sub-processor list or data processing agreement
Not stated: a mapping of processing purposes to legal bases
