What happens to your data?

Your conversations, uploaded files, and account information are shared with the third-party model providers and developers powering the bots you use. These third parties may retain and use your chats to train models or improve their services. Poe may also use interaction data to personalize recommendations and share hashed emails with advertising partners.

Does it train on your data?

Trains on your content by default. Third-party developers creating bots using Poe APIs may view and store your chats on their servers to train their models, and third-party AI model providers receive chat details and uploaded files to provide and improve their services.

Can you opt out?

Not specified. While the policy notes that third-party processing may depend on your Poe account settings, it does not state whether or how you can opt out of API developers storing and using your chats to train models.

Data retention

Not specified.

Encryption & security

Not specified.

Is it safe for work?

No. The platform shares chat logs and uploaded documents with external third-party model providers and developers who may use them for model training, and the policy explicitly warns users to avoid sharing sensitive personal information.
