Frequently Asked Questions

How does Intelloro verify privacy practices?

We use our Approach 3 verification system — a 15-source cross-referencing process that checks each tool's privacy policy, terms of service, security pages, and independent compliance databases. Only explicit statements count; marketing phrases like 'privacy-focused' are not sufficient for verification.

What does 'trains on your data' mean?

When a tool trains on your data, it means your inputs (conversations, documents, code) are used to improve the AI model. This data may be reviewed by human trainers and could influence the tool's responses to other users. Tools that don't train on your data process inputs ephemerally without retaining them for model improvement.

Is this report updated regularly?

Yes. This report is generated from live database data and refreshes every hour via ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration). As tools update their privacy policies and we verify new tools, the numbers automatically reflect the current state of AI tool privacy.

How is this data collected?

Data comes from three sources: (1) Smart Generator — automated extraction from tool websites, (2) Approach 3 Verification — 15-source cross-referencing with human review, and (3) vendor-reported updates. Every data point has a source attribution and confidence score tracked in our database.
