We can't tell. Buffer's published policy doesn't clearly say. As of 24 October 2026. Source: buffer.com.
PolicyPeek gives Buffer the badge "Policy unclear". Its published policy doesn't clearly say whether your data is used for training, or whether you can opt out. What we recorded from the policy: Asked "Does Buffer scrape my content to train the AI?", Buffer says text entered in AI Assistant "will be shared with OpenAI" but never states whether training happens; legal pages are silent. It doesn't state how long your data is kept. Last checked 24 October 2026 against 1 policy page from buffer.com.
Does Buffer train on my data?
Two different things often get mixed up. Used to train models means your content helps build or improve the AI itself, so it can shape what the model produces later. Used to provide the feature means your content is processed to give you the answer, summary or suggestion you asked for, which any AI feature has to do. PolicyPeek's badge is about the first one only.

Is Buffer safe for UK GDPR?
PolicyPeek hasn't recorded whether Buffer's published policy mentions GDPR. PolicyPeek doesn't assess whether a tool meets GDPR; the badge only reports what the policy says about training.
In the UK: if personal data is involved, the UK GDPR applies to how it's used, including for AI. This page only reports what the vendor's published policy says about training — it is not a finding that Buffer meets UK GDPR, and it is not legal advice. The Information Commissioner's Office publishes guidance on AI and data protection.
