10.1 **Use of Autocomplete User Content to Improve Services.** We may use your Autocomplete User Content to improve our discriminative machine learning models, which are models that rank or assign scores to code generations in order to understand the boundaries between different sets of code. We will never use your Autocomplete User Content to improve generative machine learning models, which are models that are able to generate code directly based on studying existing code generations, for Autocomplete or other services. Any Autocomplete User Content used for training our discriminative machine learning models is anonymized, such that any personally identifiable information is removed. To opt out of having your Autocomplete User Content used for such purpose, you may e-mail us at [email protected] or change the code sharing options in the User Settings pane of the user's profile page. Please note that if you opt out, your Autocomplete User Content will be sent to our servers so that we are able to provide you with the Services, but we will not retain your Autocomplete User Content on our servers for training our discriminative machine learning models.
10.2 **Use of Chat User Content to Improve Services.** We may use your Chat User Content to improve our generative and discriminative machine learning models. Any Chat User Content used for training our machine learning models is anonymized, such that any personally identifiable information is removed. To opt out of having your Chat User Content used for such purpose, you may e-mail us at [email protected] or change the code sharing options in the User Settings pane of the user's profile page. Please note that if you opt out, you will not have access to Chat Services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you enable features that explicitly require persistent code snippets or other information (e.g. Remote Indexing, Memories), and for Exafunction's Forge product, we may store code snippets and/or other information to provide these Services. In addition, Profile Data may be stored for authentication and otherwise to provide the Service. **"Customer Data"** means any data, text, and any other works of authorship or other works, including source code that you submit, upload, or otherwise post to or transmit to the Service.
