What Scale AI's privacy policy says about your data
Training Data Opacity
The policy is entirely silent on whether inputs are used to train Scale models and offers no opt-in or opt-out mechanism for users to control training use of their data.
Clear No-Sale Commitment
Section 12 of the policy explicitly states we do not and will not sell your personal information, exceeding baseline compliance.
Vague Retention Periods
Retention is described only as for as long as necessary with no named timeframe or specific retention ladder, providing minimal user transparency on data lifecycle.
Strong Rights Framework
Users can access, correct, amend, delete, and port personal information via privacy@scale.com.
