How to stop Hugging Face training AI on your data
What the policy itself says, plan by plan. Where Hugging Face publishes the steps, they're here in its own words, read from an archived copy of the page that gives them. Where it doesn't, this page says so instead of inventing a menu path.

Hugging Face's privacy policy contains no form of "train", no "machine learning" and no "artificial intelligence" anywhere in the capture, re-checked live on 26 Aug 2026 and still true. For the company whose platform hosts a large share of the world's open models, and whose users upload datasets and model weights, the absence of any statement about what it does with that content is the finding. Asked on 19 Aug, Hugging Face replied on 25 Aug that it "does not store any user data for training purposes" and cited two documents. That sentence is real and published — but it appears in the Inference Providers security page, and the sentence immediately after it sets its scope: "We do not store the request body or response when routing requests through Hugging Face." It is a commitment about routing inference requests, not about the models, datasets and Spaces users upload. The privacy policy they also cited contains nothing on the subject at all. So the listing stays UNCLEAR: the question was answered for one feature and left open for the platform.
