Does Linear train AI on your data?

Statements differ between pages

Linear's own words (linear.app/legal/ai-addendum):

Linear will not use Customer Data, including Prompts or Outputs, to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve Linear’s own AI 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.

Privacy laws and frameworks mentioned: GDPR, CCPA/CPRA. These are laws the vendor says it follows, not certifications.

A certification on a website is a claim. For anything sensitive, ask Linear for the SOC 2 report or ISO certificate.

Linear subprocessors

Our reader didn't find a subprocessor list on Linear's public pages. It may be published somewhere we couldn't reach, such as a trust portal that needs JavaScript or a login. Ask Linear for it if you need it.
