v0

High risk

Vercel's generative UI and app builder that turns prompts into React/Next.js code and deploys it on the Vercel platform.

Is v0 safe for confidential data?

The live issue with v0 is Vercel's 2026 AI policy shift: under the policy effective March 31, 2026, prompts, interactions, and project data from paid Pro plans are opted in to Vercel's model training by default, with Hobby and trial users opted out by default and Enterprise customers contractually excluded. Opt-out is self-serve in Team Settings, but coverage of the change notes that data ingested before an opt-out cannot be un-learned — opting out protects future data only. Vercel states sensitive content such as environment variables and API keys is anonymized and redacted before use, but code structure and prompts from default-configured Pro teams flow into training. For a firm generating proprietary product UI on v0, this is a policy-default risk you have to actively switch off, and the deadline dynamics made timing matter.

Risk by plan

The same product often carries very different terms depending on the tier — consumer plans are where the exposure concentrates.

Free / Hobby
Conditional

Opted out of model training by default under the 2026 policy, but consumer terms with no organizational agreement; verify current defaults at v0.app/policy, which Vercel can update.

Pro / Team (paid)
Trains on inputs

Opted in to model training by default under the policy effective March 31, 2026 — an admin must disable it in Team Settings > Data Preferences. Sensitive values are redacted per Vercel, but prompts and code structure are included.

Enterprise
No training

Vercel states Enterprise customer data is not used for model training or shared with third parties; terms are contractual.

Data handling

Training on inputs

Under the Vercel AI policy effective March 31, 2026: paid Pro plan users are opted in to model training by default; Hobby and trial users are opted out by default; Enterprise data is not used for training or shared. Opt-out is in Team Settings > Data Preferences.

Retention

Prompts, interactions, and project data are retained per Vercel's privacy policy; data already ingested for training before an opt-out is not removed from the training set, per coverage of the policy change.

Residency

Vercel's global cloud; no v0-specific residency controls published. Canadian organizations with PIPEDA or Quebec Law 25 obligations should treat processing as US/global and assess accordingly.

Frequently asked questions

Does Vercel v0 train on your code?

By default on paid Pro plans, yes — Vercel's AI policy effective March 31, 2026 opts Pro users' prompts, interactions, and project data into model training, while Hobby/trial users are opted out by default and Enterprise data is excluded entirely. Vercel says environment variables, API keys, and personal data are anonymized and redacted first, but the code and prompt content itself is in scope unless you switch it off.

How do we opt out of Vercel AI training?

A team admin disables it under Team Settings > Data Preferences, or you move to Enterprise where exclusion is contractual. Note the asymmetry reported around the March 31, 2026 deadline: opting out stops future use, but data already ingested into the training set is not un-learned — so opt out before meaningful proprietary work goes through v0, not after.

Designers and engineers are prototyping in v0 on personal accounts. Does the company opt-out cover them?

No — a team-level data preference only governs that team's workspace. Personal and Hobby accounts sit under consumer terms with their own defaults, outside your DPA and your settings. Bring v0 use under a company team where an admin controls Data Preferences, and keep an inventory of the AI builders people use before anyone thought to ask.
