Privacy policy showdown: Instinct, Muse and Grok Bot all train on your data by default
WhatTheLJW · x · 2026-09-29
A policy comparison of Instinct, Muse and Grok Bot finds all three enable data training by default. Ranking: Grok Bot (toggle-on Privacy mode, 30-day deletion deadline) > Muse > Instinct. None offers a single universal retention period; deleting a message or bot can leave residual data, and each handles safety monitoring differently — Instinct may train on safety-flagged info even after opt-out.
