Partially privateReviewed

Alibaba excludes training without consent, but request data is stored regionally and third-party model terms can differ.

Plan Scope
Alibaba Cloud Model Studio international service, including Qwen and third-party models; console history and stateful features differ from stateless inference.
Prompt Retention
Inference request data is stored in the selected access region while transient forwarding data is not persisted. Playground conversation history can remain without a stated time limit until manually deleted.
Response Retention
Model Studio outputs are Member Content and can be stored by selected features; stateless inference transmission is described as transient.
Ordinary Logging
Alibaba Cloud may monitor service use for compliance and can apply automated content-detection mechanisms; billing and token-usage statistics are retained.
Model Training
Alibaba Cloud states it does not use Member Content or customer business data to develop or improve Model Studio models without separate explicit consent.
Product Improvement
Content-based model development requires consent; ordinary cloud telemetry and automated security processing remain permitted.
Human Or Operator Access
The product terms allow security monitoring and processing for service delivery and compliance but do not publish a universal operator-blind commitment.
Subprocessors And Routing
Content may be transferred to and processed where Alibaba Cloud, affiliates, or subcontractors operate Model Studio. Third-party models have separate provider terms and risks.
Deletion Controls
Playground histories can be manually deleted. Alibaba Cloud can remove stored content on suspension or termination, and customers must maintain their own backups.
Caveat
Storage location and inference scope are region-dependent and may involve cross-border transfer. Selecting a third-party model adds independent terms not covered by Alibaba's no-training statement.
