Writer promises outright that it will not train its models on your inputs or outputs and assigns output ownership to you, but it reserves use of your material to develop other products, names no retention period or security controls, and discloses data to advertising partners with only a cookie-level opt out.

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

No training on your content

The policy states that in no event will Writer use any data you provide when accessing the Services to train its models, including any inputs or outputs, and the terms repeat that commitment.

Material reused beyond the service

Writer reserves the right to use your inputs and outputs to provide and improve the Services and to develop other products and services, so reuse is not confined to delivering what you asked for.

Retention and security left vague

Information is kept only "for as long as we need it" with no number attached, security is described as "various technical and organizational measures" with no control named, and there is no breach notification commitment.

Advertising disclosure with an opt out

Device and browsing information goes to third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising, and the opt out runs through a privacy choices link or the Global Privacy Control browser signal.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: a deletion timeline after closure or request
Not stated: shorter retention for AI conversation logs
Not stated: a data-minimisation commitment

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.
