Frontier labs' privacy ToS dissected: feedback clicks void your opt-out
niloofar_mire · x · 2026-09-09
Niloofar Mire argues privacy policies across frontier model providers are misleading and that ZDR assumptions, even in enterprise settings, don't hold.
Key points:
- Default for all frontier models is data collection opt-in, not opt-out
- The 'explicit feedback' loophole: any thumbs up/down or picking a preferred response counts as consent to use that chat, even if you opted out
- Enterprise-tier protections can be undermined by ToS wording
She proposes writing a fuller blog post with @DrAtoosa and @iamtrask.
