Does pCloud train on your data?
pCloud sells encrypted storage. Its privacy policy does not mention AI, machine learning or model training at all.
pCloud holds files, and sells an encrypted tier on the strength of holding them privately. The privacy policy contains no form of "train", no "machine learning", no "artificial intelligence" and no bare "AI". Note what is absent as well as what is: there is no capability statement here either, nothing saying pCloud cannot read what is stored, so the silence covers both questions.

How to opt out of pCloud AI training
Plan by plan, from what pCloud's own policy says about refusing. Where it publishes the steps, they're listed here with the limits they carry. Where there's nothing to switch off, or nothing graded, this says so instead of inventing a menu path.

What this policy has done since we started watching
The record starts here. pCloud's policy was first captured on 30 Aug 2026, and there's no earlier copy to compare it against, so this verdict has no history behind it yet. From now on every re-read is diffed against that copy, and anything that moves appears here.
