vs category average
Doubao publishes a short general-purpose privacy policy that enumerates the data it collects and who it shares with, but it says nothing about whether user inputs train models, how long data is kept, or how users access, correct, export or delete their own information.
What Doubao's privacy policy says about your data
No training-data disclosure
The policy never says whether content uploaded to the Service is used to train or improve models, and offers no opt-out or opt-in control for it.
No retention period
The policy names no retention period, no deletion timeline after account closure, and no shorter retention window for AI logs.
Rights largely absent
Recipient categories are spelled out as affiliates, service providers and professional advisors, yet the policy grants no access, portability or correction right, and the only deletion promise it makes covers children's data.
Thin security and transfer terms
Security is described only as organizational, technical and physical safeguards with no named control, breach notification is not mentioned, and international transfers are flagged as going to places with weaker laws without naming a safeguard.
What the policy is silent or vague on
- Not stated: keeping user inputs out of model training
- Not stated: a way to opt out of training
- Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
- Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
