What happens to my data after an AI company buys it?

By Noah Loul · Updated

Short answer

Under a typical license, the buyer may use the data only as permitted — for example training or evaluating models — must keep it secure, and may need to delete it at the end of the term. Note that trained models may retain learned patterns, so define terms carefully.

Usage limits#

Set in the agreement.

Deletion#
