# Is my data used to train AI models?

> No. What that covers, what our providers are contractually held to, and what it means for bring-your-own-key setups.

**No.** Your voice audio, transcriptions, notes, prompts and AI-agent
conversations are not used to train, retrain or improve any AI model — ours or
anyone else's.

That isn't just a stated intention. It's a binding commitment in our [Data
Processing Addendum](https://openwhispr.com/dpa), Section 3, and it survives the
end of your contract with us.

## What it covers

Everything you put through the product:

* the audio you record
* the transcripts that come back
* your notes
* prompts and conversations with the AI agent

## What our providers are held to

OpenWhispr uses third-party providers to run transcription and language models.
They're bound by the same restriction: they process your content solely to
deliver the service, with model training disabled or opted out on our accounts,
and they're not permitted to train on it. The current list is published in Annex
3 of the [DPA](https://openwhispr.com/dpa) and kept live on our [trust
centre](https://trust.openwhispr.com).

## If you use your own API key

Bring-your-own-key and enterprise modes send your audio directly from your
machine to the provider whose credentials you entered. OpenWhispr isn't in that
path — so it's **that provider's** terms that govern training, not ours.

Most providers disable training on paid API traffic by default, but it's your
account and your agreement with them. If training policy is the reason you chose
BYOK, check the terms on the key you're using.

Local and self-hosted modes avoid the question entirely: nothing leaves your
machine or your network.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does turning on cloud backup change this?">
    No. Cloud backup stores your notes so you can reach them from another device.
    It doesn't make them training data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do you read my transcripts?">
    Not as a matter of course. Support can only see what you send us in a ticket.
    Access to production systems is restricted, logged, and reviewed — see [how
    OpenWhispr is secured](/help/privacy/how-openwhispr-is-secured).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I get this in writing for a vendor review?">
    Yes — the DPA is the document to send, and Section 3 is the clause. [Answering
    a security review](/help/privacy/for-your-it-team) lists everything else
    reviewers usually ask for.
