Assessment Basis

Produced under Method v1.6 from the entity's fact record. 7 of 8 observations were measured under that generation; the rest read Not Measured, which is a fact about this register's coverage and not a finding about the entity.

Read from 12 first-party surface(s) across 2 assessed offering(s), found by the entity's own link graph and sitemap rather than by guessed paths.

What A Machine Could Not Establish2

The One Thing To Publish First

Publish it: say whether customer data is used to train AI models.

Where To Put It

No page on your own surfaces was carrying an answer to this question when you were read, so there is no address to correct — this one needs a home before it needs wording.

Where Others Stand

24 organisations in the register say whether customer data is used to train AI models. You publish on it, but not completely.

What A Published Answer Looks Like

We will not use your data to train our AI or language models. We will not store your data except for the purpose of providing you with access to our platform and to the AI Functionality.

A question answered plainly in public, by an organisation read as Strong on it. It is not an endorsement of the position the sentence states — Black Snow reads what is published and never recommends what to practise. Read on published terms. Claim tier Quoted. The organisation that published it is not named. A name in the original is replaced; nothing else in the sentence is changed.

One is named here, and one is deliberate. The rest of the open questions are listed below without a prescription; what to publish for each, in what order, and drafted machine-readable evidence for all of them, is the Deep Dive.

Still Open

Never Asked

Outside the method generation you were read against, so never put to you. This is Black Snow’s coverage and not a finding about you — and an unchecked field is still not a clean one, which is why it is shown rather than left out.
