Does “no opt-out” apply to every plan?
Not always. PolicyPeek rates DeepL on its free tier (DeepL says Pro texts aren’t used). Check the tool page for the exact scope. (DeepL)
What can you do instead?
- Use a tool whose policy says it doesn’t train. PolicyPeek lists 15, including Notion AI, Zoom AI Companion, tl;dv and Moises. See all tools.
- Or pick one with an opt-out and switch it off, e.g. DeepSeek (“Improve the model for everyone”) or ChatGPT.
How PolicyPeek decides
An AI model extracts the facts from the company’s own policy, then fixed rules pick the badge. Uncertain results are held for human review. Each tool page links the exact policy it used and the date it was checked. (Methodology)
Changes
- 10 November 2026: Mailchimp moved to Policy unclear (account settings exist, but the published pages do not clearly say whether data is used for training or whether the Data analytics setting would stop it), so it is no longer on this list.
- 10 November 2026: Meshy and Kling AI moved to Trains by default, you can opt out (opt out by emailing support).
- 5 November 2026: Midjourney re-checked and added (Public Summary of Training Content says user input/prompts were used to train; AB2013 lists user-provided data; no training opt-out found).
- 4 November 2026: Runway re-checked and added (its terms of use allow training on Inputs and Outputs; no training opt-out found). Tool count updated to 61. Mailchimp, Otter.ai and the other tools from the 28 October audit stay on the site while PolicyPeek re-checks them.
- 28 October 2026: Perplexity AI re-checked and moved to Trains by default, you can opt out (its help centre describes an AI data retention toggle).

Its help centre says: “For Free, Perplexity Pro and Perplexity Max users, AI Data Retention is enabled by default. However, these users can control whether their data is used for AI model training.” To opt out: “Toggle off to opt out of AI training data collection”. It also says “Opt-outs only apply to data collected after the opt-out date”. (Perplexity AI, source)
Does Otter.ai train on my recordings?
Otter’s privacy policy lists “training our proprietary AI technology on de-identified audio recordings and on transcriptions (which may contain Personal Information)”. Otter’s help centre describes an opt-out (Account Settings > Meetings > Feedback and Training), so PolicyPeek rates Otter ‘Trains by default, you can opt out’. (Otter privacy policy)
