No training opt-out mechanism was identified in the legal documents.
Moderate risk. Suitable for internal data but avoid confidential information.
Gong uses personal data to improve services and AI/ML capabilities through legitimate interests, but does not explicitly state whether user content trains their models. Language about 'utilization and optimization of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning capabilities' is vague regarding training on user data specifically.
“[Privacy] 'to gain a better understanding...how we could improve...including through the utilization and optimization of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning capabilities'”
Gong grants itself a broad but limited license to Customer Data for service operation and optimization, but the scope includes creating insights and recommendations. The license is non-exclusive and limited-term, but language about 'value analysis to optimize Customer's use' suggests potential secondary uses beyond core service delivery.
“[ToS] 'Gong a non-exclusive, worldwide, limited term, royalty-free right to host, use, copy, transmit and display Customer Data...to provide insights, recommendations and value analysis to optimize Customer's use'”
Gong shares data with service providers, partners, and integrations under agreements, with a published sub-processor list. However, language about 'business and channel partners' and 'event sponsors' receiving personal data, plus analytics and enrichment providers, indicates moderate sharing scope without explicit restrictions on all secondary uses.
“[Privacy] 'Service Providers...may have access to personal information...Partnerships...we may share relevant contact, business and usage details with the respective partner'”
Gong retains data 'as long as reasonably necessary' for relationship maintenance and legal compliance, but no specific retention periods are stated. Upon termination, data is deleted after 30 days unless legally prohibited, with backup/archive data retained indefinitely in isolated form.
“[DPA] 'Upon 30 days following termination or expiration of the Agreement, Gong shall delete all Customer Data...except...archived on back-up systems...which Customer Data Gong shall securely isolate'”
Gong explicitly reserves all rights to the Services themselves and acquires no right, title, or interest in Customer Data. Customer retains ownership of outputs; Gong's license is limited to service delivery and does not extend to sublicensing or reuse of generated content.
“[ToS] 'Gong acquires no right, title or interest from Customer or its licensors under this Agreement in or to any Customer Data' and 'Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, Gong and its Affiliates...reserve all of their right, title and interest'”
Gong explicitly states SOC 2 Type II compliance and DPF certification (EU-U.S., UK, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks). Security audit reports are available upon request, and the company maintains comprehensive data protection standards aligned with GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA.
“[DPA] 'The internal controls of the Services are subject to periodic testing...based on the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 18 Service Organisation Control (SOC2) report' and [Privacy] 'Gong.io Inc. has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles'”
