Legal: MCA, DPA, privacy, data retention

[ reference ][ updated 2026-09-17 ][ confidence high ][ jev-1.13.0 ]#legal · privacy · data-retention · dpa · acceptable-use

TL;DR TypeSafe states it does not train on customer Input (Privacy Policy; MCA §4.1 qualifies this with "without Customer's prior consent"), but Telemetry — logs, hashes, summary statistics, classifications, metrics — may be processed without restriction (MCA §4.3). There is no uptime SLA or service credit, only a "performs materially as described in its Documentation" warranty (MCA §9.1). TypeSafe has no obligation to retain your data and may delete it at any time (MCA §10.3). Sub-processors are not enumerated in the DPA; they live at https://trust.typesafe.ai/subprocessors.

This page is not legal advice. It summarises what the documents say, with section citations, so an engineer can decide what to send and what to ask legal about. Read the originals before relying on any of it.

The documents

Document URL "Last updated" Captured file
Master Customer Agreement (MCA) https://typesafe.ai/legal/mca Aug 27, 2026 raw/site/typesafe-ai-legal_mca.txt
Data Processing Addendum (DPA) https://typesafe.ai/legal/data-processing Apr 24, 2026 raw/site/typesafe-ai-legal_data-processing.txt
Privacy Policy https://typesafe.ai/legal/privacy-policy Nov 19, 2025 raw/site/typesafe-ai-legal_privacy-policy.txt

Naming note: raw/docs/legal.md calls the second document a "Data Processing Agreement"; the document itself is titled "Data processing addendum" and defines itself as "DPA". Same URL.

The DPA "forms part of the Agreement" and is incorporated into the MCA by reference (MCA §4.4). Where the DPA and the rest of the Agreement conflict, the DPA controls (DPA §1.3). Where the MCA body and the Order conflict, the Order controls (MCA §15.14).

Entity: TypeSafe AI, Inc. Notices address: 255 California St, Suite 1300, San Francisco, CA 94117, or sales@typesafe.ai (MCA §15.5).

What is covered: Services, Web Interface, API

MCA §1 (Overview) defines the Web Interface as "the TypeSafe-hosted web interface available at https://console.typesafe.ai" and the API as "the TypeSafe-hosted application programming interface"; together they are the Services. That console URL is the one named in the MCA. See console.typesafe.ai (console + playground).

Key defined terms (MCA §4.1, §4.3):

Term Definition
Input "any data, files, queries, and other materials that Customer (including Customer Users or End Users) inputs or makes available to TypeSafe" — your state and questions.
Output outputs generated from the Service and delivered to Customer — your answers.
Customer Data Input + Output.
Telemetry "information generated in connection with the Services, such as technical logs, hashes, summary statistics and classifications, metrics, and learnings related to Customer's use of the Services."

Training on customer data

Source Statement
MCA §4.1 The license to process Customer Data "does not grant TypeSafe the right to, and TypeSafe will not, include Customer Data in a dataset used to train (i.e., to modify the model weights of) any artificial intelligence or machine learning models without Customer's prior consent."
Privacy Policy, "Services" "We will not train or fine tune any artificial intelligence or machine learning models on your prompts or other Input."
Privacy Policy, "How We Use…" "We (1) will not train or fine tune any artificial intelligence or machine learning models on Input, and (2) will not disclose any Input to a third party other than our service providers."
raw/docs/models.md "Jev is not trained on customer requests or responses." Also: "Jev is not fine-tuned or LoRA-adapted with customer data… the same weights serve every account."

Tension to note: the MCA leaves a consent-gated path open ("without Customer's prior consent"), while the Privacy Policy and the docs state the commitment flatly. Both are cited above; the MCA is the contract.

The Telemetry carve-out is the practical caveat. MCA §4.3: "TypeSafe may Process Telemetry without restriction, including to improve the Services or TypeSafe's other products and services." Telemetry explicitly includes "summary statistics and classifications" and "learnings" derived from your use. MCA §4.1 also grants the right to use Customer Data "to derive and generate Telemetry". Telemetry survives termination (MCA §10.4).

Ownership: TypeSafe "does not claim ownership of Input and… disclaims ownership of Output," and assigns to Customer any right it has in Output (MCA §4.2). Customer retains IP in Input (MCA §11). Feedback and bug reports you send may be used "without restriction or obligation" (MCA §11).

Data retention

Rule Source
"TypeSafe will be under no obligation to store or retain Customer Data and may delete Customer Data at any time in its sole discretion" — both during the Term and after it ends. MCA §10.3
Confidential Information "may be retained in TypeSafe's standard backups notwithstanding any obligation to delete," still subject to confidentiality. MCA §10.3
Customer Personal Data "will be retained for as long as necessary taking into account the purpose of the Processing, and in compliance with applicable laws." DPA Schedule I §8
"We retain personal data about you for as long as reasonably necessary to provide you with the Services, or otherwise in support of our business or commercial purposes." Deletion on request unless law requires retention. Privacy Policy, "Retention"
Zero data retention (ZDR) is offered "for enterprise customers"; contact privacy@typesafe.ai. raw/docs/legal.md; raw/docs/models.md

Neither the MCA nor the DPA states a default retention period for Input or Output. If you need a number, ZDR or an Order term is the lever (inferred).

Sub-processors

Point Detail
Authorization Customer gives general authorization for TypeSafe to engage sub-processors (DPA §3.1).
List Not enumerated in the DPA. Published at https://trust.typesafe.ai/subprocessors. That page is not captured in raw/, so this wiki cannot list the sub-processors.
Flow-down TypeSafe contracts each sub-processor to "substantially as protective" obligations and remains responsible for their acts and omissions, subject to the MCA liability cap (DPA §3.1).
New sub-processors "Reasonable advance notice" before granting access; Customer may object within 15 days on reasonable privacy or security grounds, and the parties "work together in good faith" (DPA §3.2). No termination right is granted for an unresolved objection.
Subcontracting generally MCA §15.10 permits subcontractors; MCA §14.2 allows disclosure of Confidential Information to them.

The Privacy Policy separately names Google Analytics as an analytics partner for the website/Services and mentions a third-party payment processor for payment data.

Security, incidents, audits

Topic Commitment Source
Security measures "Reasonable and appropriate technical and organization security measures"; may be updated provided they do not "materially decrease the overall security". Described on the Trust Center at https://trust.typesafe.ai/. DPA §5.1, Schedule I §11
Security incident notice "Without undue delay and in any case within 72 hours after becoming aware" of accidental or unauthorized access to, disclosure or use of Customer Personal Data. DPA §5.2
Audit rights On written request, no more than once every 12 months, at Customer's sole cost, during business hours, under mutually agreed scope; results usable only for regulatory audit or DPA-compliance purposes. DPA §5.3
Credentials API key (API) and username/password (Web Interface) are "Access Credentials"; Customer must keep them confidential, is responsible for everything done with them, and must notify TypeSafe of any compromise. MCA §2.4
Security disclaimer "Because no electronic transmission or storage of data can be entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your data." Privacy Policy, "Security"

Roles, transfers, and jurisdiction (DPA)

Item Value
Roles Customer is controller/business; TypeSafe is processor/service provider (DPA §1.1).
CCPA TypeSafe will not "sell" or "share" Customer Personal Data, and will not retain, use, or disclose it outside the direct business relationship or combine it with third-party personal data (DPA §2.2).
Data subject requests Forwarded to Customer; data subjects directed to Customer; reasonable assistance provided (DPA §4.1). TypeSafe may charge a reasonable fee for DPIA/regulator-consultation assistance (DPA §4.2).
EU transfers EU SCCs Module 2 (controller-to-processor), plus Module 3 where Customer is itself a processor; docking clause in, Clause 11(a) redress option struck; governing law Ireland, courts of Dublin (DPA §6.2).
UK transfers UK Addendum (ICO Version B1.0, in force 21 March 2022) (DPA §6.3).
Swiss transfers Swiss courts for Swiss-law disputes; Swiss-resident data subjects may sue in Switzerland (DPA §6.2).
Supervisory authorities Ireland (EEA), UK Information Commissioner (UK), Swiss FDPIC (Switzerland) (DPA Schedule I §10).
Hosting location "The Services are hosted in the United States" (Privacy Policy, "International Visitors").
Sensitive data Schedule I §4 records sensitive data transferred as N/A — the DPA schedule does not contemplate special-category data. Plan accordingly before sending it as state.
Data subjects / categories "Customer and Customer's users"; content of the personal data "is determined and controlled by Customer"; transfers happen "on a continuous basis" (Schedule I §§2, 3, 5).

Acceptable use (MCA §2.3 License Restrictions)

Customer will not, and will not let its Customer Applications or personnel:

# Restriction (condensed; MCA §2.3)
(a) Sell, lease, loan, distribute, sublicense, or otherwise offer the Services as a standalone service.
(b) Use the Services or any Output to perform model distillation, train a model to imitate the output of the Services, or develop a similar or competing product.
(c) Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive source code, underlying data, ideas, algorithms, or structure.
(d) Modify or create derivative works of the Services.
(e) Remove or obscure proprietary notices.
(f) Publish benchmarks or performance information about the Services.
(g) Interfere with the operation of the Services.
(h) Bypass access restrictions or software protection mechanisms, or run security or vulnerability tests.
(i) Transmit viruses or other harmful materials.
(j) Take any action that risks harm to others or to the security, availability, or integrity of the Services.
(k) Exceed any Usage Limits (the limits set in the Order).
(l) Access the Services other than as expressly permitted, in accordance with the Documentation.
(m) Use the Services or Output in violation of law or third-party rights, or contrary to the Agreement or Documentation.

Two of these bite developers directly: (f) means publishing your own Jev benchmark numbers is a contractual breach absent permission — relevant when writing up evaluations, and worth contrasting with TypeSafe publishing its own workflow evals (Workflow evals: how TypeSafe measures Jev). (k) ties the documented rate limits (Models, aliases, pricing, rate limits, context) to the contract; exceeding Usage Limits is also a suspension trigger and an "Excluded Claim" that escapes the liability cap (MCA §§6, 12.3).

Other obligations: only employees or independent contractors may use the Web Interface (MCA §2.4); Customer is responsible for Input's content and accuracy and for all necessary rights, consents, and notices (MCA §5); export controls apply and ITAR-controlled information must not be submitted (MCA §15.12).

Suspension (MCA §6): immediate suspension is permitted for breaches of §2.3, §2.4, §5, or the Promotional Credits terms; payments 30+ days overdue; legal changes; or actions risking harm to other customers or the Services. Prior notice "where practicable"; access is restored once the issue is resolved.

SLA, uptime, and warranties

There is no uptime SLA, availability percentage, or service-credit mechanism in any of the three documents. What exists instead:

Item Detail
Service Warranty (§9.1) "The Services will perform materially as described in its Documentation." Excludes misuse, third-party platforms, and use contrary to the Documentation.
Remedy (§9.2) Written claim within 30 days of discovery; TypeSafe uses reasonable efforts to correct; if not corrected within 30 days of the claim, either party may terminate and TypeSafe refunds pre-paid unused Fees. This is the exclusive remedy.
Disclaimer (§9.3) Services are "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE"; TypeSafe "does not warrant that Customer's use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free," nor that it will maintain Customer Data without loss; no liability for outages arising from the internet or from Customer's own violations or Usage Limit enforcement. Also: Output "may be inaccurate or erroneous," Customer is responsible for independently evaluating Output, and Output may be identical to other customers'.
Support (§3) "Commercially reasonable efforts" per TypeSafe's standard support policies. Request support at support@typesafe.ai. No response-time commitment.
Updates (§2.5) TypeSafe may update the Services, possibly breaking your integration; "commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice" of materially adverse API updates.

Design consequence for agents and services built on Jev: treat 529 Overloaded and 429 as expected, not exceptional (HTTP status codes, rate limits, retry semantics), and independently validate Output before acting on it (Confidence vs probability).

Commercial terms worth knowing

Item Detail (MCA)
Credits Usage consumes TypeSafe-managed Credits; consumption rate "may vary based on account settings, including the model used". Credits are not refundable, transferable, or legal tender. Balance visible in your account (§8.2).
Purchased Credits Expire at the earlier of end of Term or 12 months after purchase. With auto-refill opted in, the balance tops up automatically; without it, TypeSafe "may decline to generate Output" once Credits run out (§8.2(a)).
Promotional Credits Discretionary; consumed before Purchased Credits; creating multiple accounts to farm them is prohibited (§8.2(b)).
Payment US dollars; due within 30 days of invoice; 1.5%/month late charge; taxes excluded (§§8.1, 8.3, 8.4).
Liability cap Greater of 12 months of Fees paid, or $50 USD, except for Excluded Claims (§12.2, §12.3). Consequential damages waived (§12.1).
IP indemnity TypeSafe defends US patent/copyright/trademark/trade-secret claims against the Services as delivered — but explicitly not Output (§13.1, §13.5(e)).
Governing law Delaware; state and federal courts in Delaware (§15.2). Note this differs from the SCC governing law (Ireland) in the DPA.
Amendments TypeSafe may notify of updates; an updated MCA takes effect "at least 60 days after" notice, going forward (§15.7).
Publicity TypeSafe may name and logo you as a customer, and will stop on written request (§15.4).
Term/termination Runs with the Order; either party may terminate for uncured material breach after 30 days' notice, cessation of operations, or insolvency (§§10.1, 10.2). No refund of unconsumed prepaid amounts (§10.3).

Staleness note: the Privacy Policy is dated Nov 19, 2025, roughly ten months before the MCA (Aug 27, 2026) and before Jev's 2026-09-15 launch. It predates the current product surface.
