Question
What should I check in an AI image tool's privacy policy?
Check five things: training use, retention, human review, sharing and deletion, for the plan you use, since defaults can differ. Read the policy before you upload anything.
Training: is it on by default, and can you switch it off for images too?
Retention and review: how long are uploads kept, including when history is off, and can human reviewers see them? Google, for example, states both: 72 hours with activity off, and up to three years for reviewed chats.
Visibility and sharing: are images public by default, and which other companies process your content?
Deletion: can you delete single images, projects and the whole account, and what remains afterwards? Read the policy of every tool you upload to.

|---|---|
| Training | Default setting and how to opt out |
| Retention | How long uploads are kept |
| Human review | Whether people may see content |
| Sharing | Public galleries and other processors |
| Deletion | What deleting removes |
