Plaud commits in writing never to train AI models on user content without prior explicit consent, backs that with in-app access and account deletion controls, and leaves gaps around retention periods, breach notification and how long recordings are kept.
What Plaud's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data
No training on your content
The policy states Plaud will never use user content such as audio files, photos or text to train, optimize or develop its own or third-party AI models without prior explicit and informed consent, and says its agreements bar its LLM providers from training on that data.
Controls you can reach in the app
Account information can be viewed and corrected in profile settings, individual files can be deleted, and the entire account plus associated data can be deleted from the same menu or by unbinding and resetting a device.
No retention period is named
Data is kept "only for as long as it is necessary" and content shared with AI providers for "a limited period", with no number anywhere, and deletion after account deactivation carries no timeline.
Security and breach disclosure stay generic
The global policy promises "appropriate technical and organizational security measures" without naming encryption, access controls or any specific standard, and never commits to notifying users of a data breach.
What the policy is silent or vague on
- Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
- Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
- Not stated: marking of AI-generated output
- Not stated: biometric-data handling
