Zendesk AI

Uses sanitized data for proprietary ML

Zendesk says its proprietary non-generative ML may use sanitized customer-service data, while generative AI features use third-party models that are not trained on Zendesk service data.

Training use

Proprietary ML models may be trained using customer-service data after identifier exclusion and PII sanitization. Third-party LLM-powered generative features are stated not to train on Zendesk customer data.

How to opt out

No training opt-out for proprietary ML was identified in the cited disclosures. Zendesk provides PII-sanitization controls for AI-agent conversation flows.

Private content

For LLMs hosted on Zendesk-controlled infrastructure, the provider does not access Service Data. Direct OpenAI API use is described as zero-data-retention. AI-agent systems sanitize detected PII but Zendesk says removal from free text is not guaranteed to be complete.

Retention

No LLM provider stores Service Data to provide generative functionality under the cited generative-AI articles. Retention for Zendesk's own service data and proprietary ML datasets is not specified there.

Human review

The reviewed data-use articles do not provide one general human-review statement.
