AlphaSense states plainly that customer data is not used to train generalized AI models, enumerates the data it collects and the parties it shares with, and points to a named Data Processing Agreement, but it gives no retention period, no breach-notification commitment, and no security certification.

What AlphaSense's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

No training on customer data

The policy states that no Google Workspace APIs are used to develop, improve, or train generalized AI or ML models on any customer data or inputs, and that customers can purge their data as needed.

Retention left open-ended

AlphaSense says it keeps personal information for as long as it actually needs it and names no retention period, no deletion timeline after account closure, and no shorter window for AI logs.

Advertising sharing with a cookie opt-out

AlphaSense says it does not sell personal information in the conventional sense, then acknowledges that its interest-based advertising may meet the CCPA definition of a sale, and offers a cookie banner to opt out.

Security described in adjectives

Protection is described as storing data on secure servers and in secure cloud locations, with no encryption standard, access-control model, breach-notification timeframe, or named certification.

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 deletion timeline after closure or request
Not stated: shorter retention for AI conversation logs

Each grade reflects our analysis of what an app states in its public privacy policy and terms as of the assessment date. It measures the transparency of those documents, not the company's actual data practices, security, or compliance. Grades are our opinion, offered for general information. Full disclaimer.
