vs category average
AlphaSense discloses an explicit no-train commitment on customer content and a full set of data subject rights with a named privacy contact, but it is silent on breach notification, opt-out mechanics, and retention periods, and it never states that customers own AI outputs.
What AlphaSense's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data
Explicit no-train clause
AlphaSense states it does not use customer personal data or customer-provided content to train generally available generative AI or large language models, except where expressly agreed with the customer, and repeats the commitment for third-party integration data.
Output ownership left ambiguous
The Customer Contract limits AlphaSense's licence in Customer Content to what is necessary to provide the Services, but Section 4.4.1 reserves all intellectual property in the Services and AlphaSense Content and transfers no rights to the Customer, so user ownership of AI outputs is never affirmed.
No breach notification and no retention numbers
The policy commits only to retaining data as long as necessary with no stated period, gives no deletion timeline after account closure, and contains no security incident notification commitment or timeframe anywhere in either document.
Advertising sale admitted with a named opt-out
AlphaSense concedes its advertising services may constitute a sale or sharing under CCPA definitions and points users to cookie settings, the Change Cookie Preferences link, and Global Privacy Control signals as the opt-out route.
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
