Betterworks publishes a detailed privacy notice with named security controls, a 30-day deletion deadline after contract termination, and a clear no-sale commitment, but it leans on a third-party LLM provider's terms for its training stance and never states how long it keeps personal data.

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

Deletion deadline is concrete

At expiration or termination of the agreement, Betterworks commits to deleting Customer Data within 30 days, and customers can export their data in a standard format at any time during the term.

Training stance is borrowed, not owned

The no-training promise rests on OpenAI's business terms governing the third-party LLM rather than a Betterworks commitment, and there is no opt-out or opt-in control for users.

No retention period for personal data

The policy keeps personal data "only for as long as needed" to fulfil the stated purposes or comply with legal obligations, naming no number of days, months, or years.

Breach timeframe is EEA-only

The 72-hour notification commitment runs to the supervisory authority under GDPR; users outside the EEA get a reporting address and no stated notice deadline.

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: shorter retention for AI conversation logs
Only partial: keeping user inputs out of model training
