We want to be transparent with our customers: Sanity’s approach to integrating generative AI in products revolves around bringing concrete, tangible value as well as keeping input data safe and private. The field of generative AI is evolving quickly, and our teams devote constant attention to the AI providers’ capabilities and privacy promises. We do our due diligence and only integrate with providers in such a way as to not train models using the input data, and we transmit as little as possible to get the services to operate as needed. These two guiding principles describe our strategy around generative AI.
Below are the full Terms of Service governing Sanity’s use of generative AI.
