Blink vs Ring

Neither policy says whether your data trains AI models. Both are UNCLEAR, and the search terms tried are on each entry.

Grades read the plan most people are on. Each company's full entry has every plan, every clause and the archived copy it was read from.

Blink

Blink stores video and audio from cameras in your home. Its policy never uses "train", "AI" or "machine learning" — whether that footage builds anything, the document does not say.

Verdict

By default: The policy does not say
The way out: Nothing to opt out of on the record
Last checked: 5 Oct 2026

Ring

Ring's notice never says "train". Its US render links a disclosure: generative models trained on datasets that "in some cases" hold personal information. Whether your video is in them, neither says.
