How Weave Uses Your Data
This page is written for Weave’s users and for your security and privacy teams. The same information is in PlaidCloud: choose How Weave uses your data… in the Weave menu in the Weave dock’s header, or How Weave uses your data below any AI chat or, for workspace administrators, in AI Features.
Most of Weave Uses No AI
Section titled “Most of Weave Uses No AI”Weave’s checks and findings are worked out from your project’s own records without AI. A finding goes to the AI provider only through an AI feature, such as Fix or the summary above a workflow’s Check.
Which AI Provider Answers Weave
Section titled “Which AI Provider Answers Weave”Weave chat, the fix assistant and the other features listed under AI Features are answered by an AI provider that PlaidCloud calls and pays for. This includes Weave in the PlaidCloud mobile app.
Each workspace uses one of these:
- Google Gemini on Vertex AI
- xAI’s Grok
How Weave uses your data in PlaidCloud names the provider and region your workspace uses.
What Weave Sends
Section titled “What Weave Sends”To answer you, Weave sends your message and whatever it reads to answer it. That can include:
- the names and definitions of projects, tables, steps and workflows
- run logs and error messages
- rows from tables it queries
Weave reads only what you can read yourself.
When you speak to Weave, your browser turns your speech into text. Where it can’t do that on your device, it may send the audio to its own speech service. PlaidCloud never receives the audio, only the text of your question.
Training and Retention
Section titled “Training and Retention”| Provider | Trains on your data | How long requests are kept |
|---|---|---|
| Google Gemini on Vertex AI | No. Google does not use this data to train its models. | Confirmation pending. |
| xAI’s Grok | As xAI’s standard terms allow. | As xAI’s standard terms allow. |
PlaidCloud has no zero-data-retention agreement with xAI. Workspaces are moving to Google Gemini on Vertex AI.
Your Conversations
Section titled “Your Conversations”PlaidCloud stores your Weave conversations so you can come back to them. Only you can open them in PlaidCloud.
Your Own AI Connection and AI Tools
Section titled “Your Own AI Connection and AI Tools”AI steps in your workflows, and assistants that use your workspace’s own AI connection, send data to the provider you chose for that connection, under your agreement with them. See Using Your Own Controlled LLM.
The same applies when you use PlaidCloud from your own AI tools, such as Claude or Microsoft Copilot. PlaidCloud’s own AI provider is not used for these.
Turning AI Features Off
Section titled “Turning AI Features Off”Workspace administrators can turn off each AI feature PlaidCloud provides, in AI Features.
