Provider: Quora. PromptPrivacy score: 37/100. Last verified August 26, 2026.

What happens to your data?

When you interact with bots on Poe, your messages, uploaded files, and contextual memories are shared with the third-party AI model providers and developers behind those bots. Quora also collects account, device, billing, and interaction data, and may share hashed emails with advertising partners.

Does it train on your data?

Third-party AI model providers and developers receive details of your interactions (chats, uploaded photos, and documents) to provide and improve services. Developers creating bots via APIs are permitted to view and store your chats on their servers to train their models.

Can you opt out?

The policy mentions that processing by third-party model providers may depend on settings in your Poe account, but it does not detail specific opt-out controls, directing users instead to the main Quora Privacy Policy to exercise privacy rights.

Is it safe for work?

No. Poe shares user prompts, documents, and files with diverse third-party AI model providers and independent bot developers, who may store interactions on their own servers to train models. Quora explicitly warns users to avoid sharing sensitive personal information.
