Top Risks

November 2025 policy change switched from consent-based to opt-out training data collection - significant regression. All desktop users now opted-in to input storage by default. Unusual Australian governing law for non-arbitration disputes. Popular student use raises academic integrity and data sensitivity concerns.

Mitigations

Opt-out mechanism available for input storage and training. Team Plan excludes training by default. No data sales. DPF certified. Trust center available. Third-party providers prohibited from training on user data.

Highest Risk Categories

The highest-scoring risk categories identified in this assessment.

Training Use

November 2025 privacy policy update changed training policy significantly: QuillBot no longer requires consent for storing text inputs and will store inputs from ALL desktop/extension users by default, with opt-out available. For EU/UK users, legal basis changed from consent to 'legitimate interest.' Free users' inputs can be used for model training unless opted out. Team Plan users are excluded from training by default. This is a meaningful step backward from prior consent-based model.

Non-arbitration disputes governed by laws of New South Wales, Australia (international governing law is unusual). Arbitrator cannot consolidate claims. Standard class action limitations apply.
