Zapier n8n
On what the policies say, n8n is the better choice for your data: graded B against Zapier's D.
Zapier
Zapier's legal page says it uses customer content for model training unless you opt out: automatically on Enterprise, by asking on every other plan. Sub-processors are barred.
Verdict
D
- Trains on you by default
- Opt out by contacting support
- On by default. An opt-out exists, but you have to go looking for it.

n8n
n8n says three times that it doesn't use your data to train its own or anyone else's models. The AI Assistant sends workflow context to third-party LLMs, which are barred from training on it.
Verdict
B
- Does not train on you by default
- No opt-out in the policy
- Off by default. Training happens only if you opt in, or not at all.
