QuillBot's policy is vague on training-data use, retention periods, and biometric practices, with unsubstantiated opt-out mechanisms and no concrete safeguards disclosed for most data rights.

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

D1.1/D1.2 Training Data Use

Claims opt-out via account settings but provides no evidence of actual mechanism, named location, or proof of functionality. Changed from 'half' to 'zero' per strict standards.

D3.1 Retention

Policy defers to 'applicable Part Two section' which contains only navigation links in the rendered snapshot, leaving actual retention periods silent. Correctly zero.

D6.2 Biometric Data

Mentions facial geometry only in conditional verification context ('may ask you'). This is optional scenario, not biometric governance commitment. Changed from 'half' to 'zero'.

Unsubstantiated data claims

Many data-use statements are vague, conditional, or point to sections that do not exist, so commitments on training, retention, and biometrics cannot be relied upon

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
