What are the data confidentiality settings for MATLAB Copilot?

As some of the code being developed in MATLAB could be confidential, I am wondering if there are some Terms and Conditions or configuration parameters that must be set so that the MATLAB Copilot does not:

1. Get trained from the code
2. Uploads this protected information online
3. Expose to MathWorks or third parties the protected content

Could you explain how does it work regarding data confidentiality and how to set it up to prevent sharing or training from this confidential information?

It would be best to contact TMW Support for this - Contact Support.

Just FYI - Answers forum is not an official The Mathworks support/sales channel but a hosted volunteer site; we don't have access to such details nor are in any position to offer advice/suggestions on such issues.

Hey @Gabriel,

According to the Privacy Policy listed by MathWorks:

"Information sent to MATLAB Copilot is transmitted for processing to a third-party cloud service provider with whom MathWorks has a service contract. MATLAB Copilot request information is not stored by MathWorks or third-party services after the request is completed."

You can refer to the Privacy Policy's Section 10 at the link below:

However, as @Dyuman Joshi pointed out, it would be best to get in touch with MathWorks Technical Support for further queries considering the sensitive nature of data retention and privacy policy varying across regions.
