AI Role By Offering1

Assessment Basis

Produced under Method v1.6 from the entity's fact record. 8 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 9 first-party surface(s) across 1 assessed offering(s), found by the entity's own link graph and sitemap rather than by guessed paths.

What A Machine Could Not Establish2

2 questions are open and 6 are established, read as at 2026-08-13 under method v1.6.

The One Thing To Publish First

Publish it: say how long what is sent to an AI provider is kept.

Red · AdverseAI Input Retention

AI Input Retention Value was not measured under method v1.6. The band on this row is the reading of AI Input Retention, not of that value.

Where To Put It

This was read on your own page at https://www.canva.com/policies/data-processing-addendum/. That is the page a reader already reaches for and does not find it on, so it is the page to correct first.

Where Others Stand

26 organisations in the register say how long what is sent to an AI provider is kept. You do not.

What A Published Answer Looks Like

By default, all media associated with a recording is retained indefinitely. You can configure your workspace to support zero-data retention, or any other data retention configuration through our API.

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 a published privacy notice. Claim tier Quoted. The organisation that published it is not named.

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.
