Monte Carlo does not disclose whether customer inputs train its models, lacks opt-out mechanisms for training, and provides vague retention periods ("as long as necessary"), though it does clearly prohibit selling personal data and certifies DPF compliance.

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

Training disclosure gap

Policy is completely silent on whether customer data/inputs train Monte Carlo models. D1.1-D1.3 all zero (silent).

Data ownership clear

D1.4 and D3.2 correctly cap scope: customer owns data, Monte Carlo uses only "as necessary to provide the Service" with deletion upon request.

No model training opt-out

Unlike Anthropic (which offers opt-out in account settings), Monte Carlo provides no disclosed mechanism to decline model training use.

Vague retention baseline

D3.1 says "as long as necessary", no named number, no deletion timeline (30-day floor), ladder correctly set to 0.2.

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: a deletion timeline after closure or request
