AlphaSense discloses that its service surfaces AI-generated content and rules out training generalized models on Google Workspace customer data, but its data-subject rights, international transfer safeguards and advertising opt-out are written for California or UK and EEA residents rather than the default global user, and the policy names no retention period, no breach notification commitment and no deletion timeline.

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

Narrow no-training commitment

The policy states that no Google Workspace APIs are used to develop, improve, or train generalized AI or ML models on customer data or inputs, but that promise is scoped to Google Drive files rather than to everything a customer uploads, and no opt-out mechanism is described for anything outside it.

Rights depend on where you live

Access, deletion, portability and correction appear as rights available "in compliance with certain privacy laws," and the detailed versions with verification steps and response deadlines sit inside a section that applies only to California residents, so the default global user gets no stated mechanism or timeline.

No retention period and no breach notice

AlphaSense keeps personal information "for as long as we actually need it" with no number attached, gives no deletion timeline after an account closes, and never commits to notifying users if their data is breached.

Transfer safeguards named only for UK and EEA data

Standard contractual clauses are named, but only for transfers originating inside the UK or the EEA; for everyone else the policy offers that it will "seek to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place," and it states that personal information collected in one country may be processed in another.

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
