Review AI Vendor Data Terms for a Pilot

Create a question list on retention, training use, access, subprocessors, deletion, logging, and export. Record where each answer comes from.

Published September 22, 2026 · Dr. Connor Robertson

What to provide

Vendor terms, privacy documentation, intended data types, contract, and internal requirements.

Starting prompt

Map our pilot's data to the vendor's published terms. Cite the relevant clause or documentation, mark unanswered questions, and avoid assuming a consumer setting applies to a business plan.

Trial case

Take a pilot involving customer records and a vendor document silent on retention. The review should mark retention unanswered and hold the upload until an authorized owner resolves it.

Review gate

Legal and security owners verify current terms and approve any sensitive-data use before upload.

How to score the result

Unanswered material questions before pilot launch and time to remove data at pilot end.

Use the current approved source and keep it available to the reviewer. Check a small set of finished outputs against the previous process before adopting this workflow.
