Catalog AI Safety

Catalog AI is powered by OpenAI. Rest assured, your metadata is shared only if you choose to activate it on your account.

Catalog AI does not use ChatGPT but uses the same underlying AI models. OpenAI will not use your metadata to retrain their models (see OpenAI API data usage policies).

What Is Shared With OpenAI?​

Catalog only has access to your metadata. No actual data can be shared with OpenAI. Nevertheless, we are extra careful with what we share with OpenAI, and rest assured, your metadata is shared only if you choose to activate it on your account.

Query Explainer and Scribe​

For Query Explainer and Scribe, the metadata shared with OpenAI includes:

  • SQL queries
  • Table names
  • Column names

For a query to be sent to OpenAI, the following conditions must be met:

  • An admin of your account requested Catalog to activate the AI features
  • A query is displayed in Catalog: our PII removal engine cleans all queries displayed from potential PII
  • A user requests an explanation for a given query or an associated table or dashboard

For table names and column names to be sent to OpenAI, the following conditions must be met:

  • An admin of your account requested Catalog to activate the AI features
  • A table is present in Catalog
  • A user requests documentation by AI

Then, and only then, is your metadata sent to OpenAI and your user will see the output.

No information about your users is shared with OpenAI.

U.S. Privacy Laws and GDPR​

Catalog and OpenAI share a Data Processing Addendum in addition to OpenAI's standard terms, where OpenAI agrees to comply with data privacy and data protection laws, including U.S. Privacy Laws and GDPR.
