What Tabnine's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data
Code stays yours
The terms state Tabnine is granted no rights in code or intellectual property developed by the user, and that code written while using the service is used only to improve the service provided to that user and not to improve the service given to other Tabnine users.
Tailor Made is opt-in
The upgraded engine that studies a user's own code is only provided when explicitly requested, and the terms say code supplied for it is not stored or used after the adjustment is complete.
Retention is open-ended
The policy names no retention period, committing only to not keeping information longer than necessary for its services and its reasonable business and lawful needs.
Breach and security language is general
Security is described as industry standard measures with access restricted on a need-to-know basis, and the breach passage promises reasonable action to minimise harm without committing to notify affected users or naming a deadline.
What the policy is silent or vague on
- Not stated: a deletion timeline after closure or request
- Not stated: breach notification
- Only partial: a way to opt out of training
- Only partial: whether training use differs by plan
