Mistral Studio / La Plateforme

Free-mode inputs and outputs are eligible for model improvement and training by default unless the user opts out.

Plan Scope

Mistral Studio and API. Free, pay-as-you-go, enterprise, Labs, and stateful features have materially different data-use and retention rules.

Prompt Retention

Free-mode inputs and outputs may be retained for model improvement unless the user opts out. Paid stateless API traffic can qualify for zero data retention when approved; stateful features necessarily store application data.

Response Retention

Follows the same plan, endpoint, and feature-specific rules as prompts.

Ordinary Logging

Mistral processes technical and usage logs for service delivery, security, abuse prevention, and legal compliance; zero-data-retention eligibility does not eliminate all account or operational metadata.

Model Training

Free Mistral Studio and API usage may be used to train and improve models by default, with an opt-out. Pay-as-you-go API usage is opted out by default. Labs models may use data for training regardless of the general setting.

Product Improvement

Depends on plan and opt-out status. Free usage is eligible by default; paid API traffic is excluded by default, subject to feature and model exceptions.

Human Or Operator Access

Content retained for improvement, safety, support, or legal reasons may be accessed by authorized personnel under Mistral's controls; no universal operator-blind commitment applies to free mode.

Subprocessors And Routing

Mistral and its listed subprocessors process service data under the privacy policy and DPA; third-party integrations can add separate terms.

Deletion Controls

Users can opt out of training in privacy controls. Zero data retention is available only for eligible paid stateless endpoints and requires approval; stored conversations, files, fine-tunes, and other stateful resources must be deleted through their feature controls.

Caveat

Mistral's general API privacy documentation and its free-mode documentation are easy to read as conflicting. The narrower free-mode disclosure controls this audit's free-tier finding, and Labs models remain an explicit exception.
