Does You.com train on your data?
You.com's privacy policy says it doesn't train its own models on your prompts, files or outputs unless you opt in. Its older terms of use still license your Content for training.
No opt-out found in this policy
"We do not use the substance of your prompts, files, or generated outputs to train or fine-tune our own models, and our contracts with our large language model providers prohibit them from using it to train their models, except where you have separately opted in."

How we read it: Re-graded from F on 2 October 2026, on a sentence the privacy policy gained after 7 September. You.com doesn't use "the substance of your prompts, files, or generated outputs" to train its own models, and its contracts bar its model providers from it, unless you opt in. Two things sit beside it. The terms of use, dated 27 August 2024, still let You.com use your Content to "train and improve the Services", and neither document says which wins. And "De-identified and aggregated User Content" may still be used under the policy's general uses, one of which is "any lawful purpose". Enterprise and paid-plan terms override the section where they differ. You.com is being asked which governs.

How to opt out of You.com AI training
Plan by plan, from what You.com'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.
All accounts
Nothing to switch off: training here is off until an opt-in is given.
What this policy has done since we started watching
1 change detected since 6 Sept 2026. Each one is a diff between two archived copies, and each links to the passage that moved.
Vendor response
We wrote to You.com on 16 Sept 2026, quoting the clauses above and inviting a correction. Nothing has come back. That's published because a company declining to comment on its own policy is something a reader should know, and because the invitation should be on the record whether or not it's taken up. Any reply goes here, word for word.
