• Third-Party Models: We may utilize third-party foundation models (e.g., OpenAI, Azure AI). Your use of such models is subject to the respective providers' terms and policies.
• Data Usage: We do not use your proprietary data to train public foundation models unless explicitly agreed upon in writing.
