Documents we read but did not count
5 named documents were read but are not the kind of document this board answers from; see why below. They are counted and never answered.
- Altium, Trust Center: a trust-centre landing page on security certifications, no terms on the customer's data
- Altium 365, employee access to IP data: a trust-centre answer on which staff can open a workspace, not terms on the customer's data
- KiCad, About KiCad: the project's about page, no terms on a user's designs
- SnapMagic, licence for symbols and footprints: a help article on the licence of the parts SnapMagic distributes, not terms on a customer's own designs
- PCBWay, community 'law' questions: a community question-and-answer list, not PCBWay's terms
Method
Each vendor's own published terms were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).
For every document, four questions were answered from the vendor's own words: who owns the business's data, vendor keeps aggregated or anonymised use, training AI on the business's data, export at exit.
Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the document read does not address the question.
A vendor with several documents reads 'varies' where they disagree.
23 vendors, 38 documents.
