Tabnine's terms state that code written while using the service is used only to improve that same user's service and not to improve the service for other users, while the privacy policy names no retention period and places most of its concrete data rights inside sections that apply only to EU or California residents.

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

Your code stays yours

The terms state that Tabnine gains no rights in code you develop while using the service, and that such code is used only to improve the service provided specifically and solely to you, not to improve the service for other Tabnine users. The code-trained "Tailor Made" engine is provided only when you explicitly ask for it, and the code you share for it is not stored afterwards.

Rights depend on where you live

The globally applicable text offers only a request to access or modify your information by emailing support. Erasure, portability, rectification and objection are listed under rights that apply "in some jurisdictions, in particular" the EU and EEA, and the no-sale statement sits in the section written for California residents.

No retention period, no breach notice

Retention is described only as not longer than necessary for the service and for reasonable business and lawful needs, with no number given. Security is described as industry standard measures, and the policy commits to minimising harm after a breach rather than to notifying affected users within any timeframe.

Advertising identifiers are used for targeting

The policy describes interest-based advertising using advertising identifiers and data from connected Google, Microsoft or GitHub accounts, and directs you to your own device settings to opt out rather than offering a control inside the product.

What the policy is silent or vague on

  • Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
  • Not stated: data portability
  • Not stated: a deletion timeline after closure or request
  • Not stated: a data-minimisation commitment

Documents examined

Each grade reflects our analysis of what an app states in its public privacy policy and terms as of the assessment date. It measures the transparency of those documents, not the company's actual data practices, security, or compliance. Grades are our opinion, offered for general information. Full disclaimer.
