Deel states plainly that it does not use personal data to train or develop AI models, and that it does not sell or trade personal information under any circumstances. It offers a full set of data subject rights through a named webform. Its operational details are vague, which keeps the score mid-range: retention is described only as as long as necessary with no day count, there is no stated deletion timeline, breach handling gives a contact address but no notification commitment or timeframe, and international transfers rely on unspecified contractual arrangements instead of a named safeguard such as SCCs, adequacy, or the Data Privacy Framework.

What Deel's privacy policy says about your data

No model training on user data

The policy states that Deel does not use users' personal data to train or develop AI models. It limits itself to anonymised, aggregated platform usage data to improve its AI systems.

Does not sell personal information

Deel states it does not sell or trade any personal information to third parties under any circumstances, and gives an opt-out path for interest-based advertising through the DAA and NAI programs.

Full rights, vague retention

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and consent withdrawal are all named, each exercisable through a webform. Retention is described only as as long as necessary, with no deletion timeline and no day count.

Transfers and breach left thin

International transfers rely on unspecified contractual arrangements instead of a named SCC, adequacy, or DPF safeguard. The security section gives a dpo@deel.com contact for breaches but states no notification commitment or timeframe.

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: your ownership of generated outputs
  • Not stated: a deletion timeline after closure or request
