Vendor data-handling terms
Training on your data (default tier)
Prompts and outputs not used to train or fine-tune models without opt-in; community-hosted models follow their own policies
“Pollinations does not use your prompts or outputs to train or fine-tune models without explicit opt-in. Community providers may follow different practices under their own policies.”
Retention
Prompts and outputs processed transiently; response caches up to 30 days; account data deleted within 30 days of account deletion
“Prompts/outputs (commercial & demos): processed transiently to deliver results; not retained beyond what's necessary to run the Service, except configuration you save and short-lived response caches. / Generated response caches (text, image, audio, video): typically up to 30 days, plus any downstream public/browser caches.”
Data residency
EEA-based with SCCs for transfers; community providers may process elsewhere
“Where data leaves the EEA, we use approved safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses) and appropriate supplementary measures. Community providers may process data in other countries.”

Assessment
Pollinations-hosted models: lowCommunity models: high
Reasoning: A free generative media API popular in hobby projects. Pollinations' own models do not train on prompts and keep little, but requests can route to independent community providers whose handling Pollinations does not control or verify.
Flags: Community providers uncontrolled · No API key needed for basic use · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
