Mistral's training default

Mistral's commercial terms commit not to use La Plateforme API customer content to train models without explicit opt-in. This is the same shape as the Anthropic and OpenAI defaults, but with a key residency difference: Mistral is a French company operating primarily from EU infrastructure.

When Meetily users select Mistral as their summary provider via BYOK, the request hits api.mistral.ai under your API key. The defaults on this page apply unless you have a separate commercial arrangement.

Retention

Mistral retains API inputs and outputs for a limited period required to operate the service and meet legal obligations. Specific durations are set in Mistral's DPA. For exact windows, consult the current DPA on legal.mistral.ai before deployment in regulated environments.

The Mistral Le Chat consumer interface operates under separate terms and may retain conversations for longer; this page covers the API path only.

Zero data retention and EU residency

EU residency is Mistral's default value proposition for La Plateforme. For customers subject to GDPR or organizations that need to avoid US data transfers, Mistral is one of the better cloud LLM choices because:

  • Mistral SAS is a French legal entity, not a US subprocessor.
  • La Plateforme runs primarily on EU-based infrastructure.
  • The DPA is written with GDPR as the baseline, not as an addendum.

Contractual zero-retention or limited-retention terms are negotiable through Mistral's enterprise sales process.

How Meetily uses Mistral

Meetily routes Mistral traffic through your own API key. Your account's contract terms apply. The transcript text is sent over TLS to api.mistral.ai for summarization, and the response is returned to Meetily and stored locally on your device. Audio is never transmitted to Mistral at any point.

For EU customers who want zero cross-border data transfer at any pipeline stage, Mistral's EU-resident API plus Meetily's local transcription gives you a fully European data path for the cloud-summary route. For zero retention by construction, switch to local Ollama and keep the entire pipeline on-device.

Frequently asked questions

Does Mistral train models on my API prompts?
Mistral's commercial terms commit not to use API customer content to train models without explicit opt-in. The Data Processing Agreement that accompanies La Plateforme governs this; review the current DPA on legal.mistral.ai for the binding text.
What is the default retention period for Mistral API traffic?
Mistral retains API inputs and outputs for a limited period required to operate the service and meet legal obligations. Specific durations are set in the DPA. The Mistral Le Chat consumer interface has separate terms and is out of scope for this page.
Is zero data retention available for Mistral?
Contractual no-retention or limited-retention terms are negotiable for enterprise customers through Mistral's sales process. Contact Mistral directly to scope a contract that matches your data-handling requirements.
Where is Mistral API data stored geographically?
Mistral is a French company and operates La Plateforme from EU infrastructure. Data residency in the EU is the default for La Plateforme, which is attractive for organizations subject to GDPR and EU data sovereignty rules. Confirm the current region scope in your DPA.
How do I request deletion of data Mistral has retained?
Submit a deletion request per the procedures in Mistral's DPA. Account-level deletion is also available through the La Plateforme console.
Does Mistral have SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications?
Mistral publishes its compliance posture on legal.mistral.ai. ISO 27001 is the most relevant baseline; check the current certifications list before deployment in regulated environments.
How does Meetily handle Mistral when I pick it as my summary provider?
Meetily transcription is always 100% local. When you select a Mistral model as your summary provider via BYOK, Meetily routes transcript text (not audio) to the Mistral API using your own key. The retention and training defaults on this page apply to your traffic.
Is Mistral a good choice for EU customers under GDPR?
Yes. EU-based infrastructure, an EU corporate entity, and a GDPR-aligned DPA make Mistral one of the better cloud LLM choices for EU customers who need to avoid US data transfers. Pair it with Meetily's local transcription path for a fully EU-resident pipeline at the summary stage.
