Vercel AI Policy

Vercel develops products and features designed to help developers rapidly create their next website or project. Our innovative tools harness the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology to provide a seamless and accelerated development experience. This Policy outlines Vercel's approach to responsibly developing, deploying, and using AI in our products and services, including Vercel's v0 (available at: https://v0.app) and AI Gateway (available at https://vercel.com/ai-gateway) (collectively, "AI Products"). You may select or purchase offerings from third parties through Vercel's Marketplace, AI Integrations, AI Gateway, or other similar services, which are covered in the Notices and License Information, not this Policy.

Vercel's AI Products and Your Data

Vercel's AI Products consist of tools that help users generate code and user interfaces, improve their technical skills, and build, debug, and ship web applications, including through a generative chat assistant. These AI Products enhance user productivity and improve the development experience from the initial stages of project conception to the final stages of deployment.

We take our responsibility seriously to protect user data and be transparent about how such data is used. User input and prompt content, queries, ratings, and/or other interactions with user generations and other output may be used by Vercel (and as applicable, our subprocessors’ models) to generate outputs. Such content may also be used by Vercel's models and learning systems to improve our AI Products and provide more accurate and relevant recommendations to our users. 

If you are (a) on a Hobby plan or a trial Pro plan, and have opted out of Model Training as described in Section 3 of our Terms of Service, or (b) on a paid Pro plan and have not opted in to Model Training as described in Section 3 of our Terms of Service, we will not use or share the content you input and output through our AI products for Model Training, as described in Section 3 of our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. Users can change their opt out of such use and sharing at any time through their Team Settings or by purchasing the appropriate subscription. For clarity, we do not use or share data from Enterprise plan customers for Model Training.

A list of areas where AI systems may be deemed “high risk” can be found here.
