Does dbt Labs train AI on your data?

Statements differ between pages

dbt Labs's own words (getdbt.com/legal/ai-principles):

Where we contract with a third-party provider for these services, we do not allow them to use any of our client data or platform data to train their models.

Vendors often have different rules for consumer or free plans and for business or enterprise plans. Check the terms for the plan you would use.

Other statements we found
If we do release a feature that uses Client Data to train models, there will be an option to opt-out of training available to account administrators.

Different pages say different things. This is often a split between business plans and free or consumer plans. Read each quote for the plan you would use.
