Training data, and the two directions the question runs in
Training data raises two separate questions: what a model learned from before you arrived, and whether what you upload becomes training material afterwards. Documents answer them in different places, and readers merge them. As of 2026-09-22.
| Question | What the phrase answers |
|---|---|
| What the model learned from | A provenance claim, if any |
| Whether your uploads are used | A licence back, or a separate statement |
| Whether you can decline | An opt-out, where one exists |
| Whether enterprise terms differ | Usually yes, and usually unpublished |
Inclusion rule. Phrases that appear in more than one vendor's permissions documents and that change what a sentence means. A phrase used by a single vendor in a single clause is described on that vendor's own page instead. Order. Reading order: where you meet it, then what it settles, then what it does not.
1The backward-looking question
What went into the model is somebody else's material and somebody else's risk to raise. A provenance statement is the only assurance a public page usually offers, and it is an argument about likelihood rather than a transfer of liability.
It matters most to brands in litigious sectors, where the cost of defending a claim exceeds the cost of the campaign. For everybody else it is a reasonable comfort.
2The forward-looking question
Whether your own uploads and outputs are used to train is a different subject and, for a studio under a client confidentiality obligation, the more urgent one. It is usually addressed in a licence back or in a separate statement rather than in the grant.
Where a supplier states that subscriber material is not used for training, that is a narrow and checkable promise. Where nothing is said, a broad licence back is the clause that will be read in its place.
3What to ask, and in what order
First whether your material is used, because that is the question your own client contract turns on. Then what the model learned from, because that is the question your insurer might ask.
Both answers belong in a supplier file rather than in somebody's memory. They change with releases and with enterprise arrangements, so the date of the answer is part of the answer.
4A generator's account of it
Alongside the terms behind “Training data”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:
The music runs across the end card and comes to an end with the film.

On the end card, yes, along with the product name, the tagline and the call to action, in the language of the ad.

5Where the sourced wording is
A word page, not an entry in the register: nothing above is attributed to any vendor and nothing above is legal advice. The quoted clauses are on commercial use, the column this phrase turns up in is input restriction, and the reading rules are on the reading page. Next words: Opt-out, Public generation, Stock library.
