Topview: uploads used for training
On whether uploads may train models, Topview's terms read: content used by default to train its models unless you opt out. As of 2026-09-25.

Topview, terms
- Improving modelsContent used by default to train its models unless you opt out
1What “used unless you opt out” means here
An opt-out sets the default to training. Until the setting is changed, uploads count as training material, and changing it later does not reach back to what was already used.
2Other tools with this reading
No other tool on the register reads this way.
This is how the clause reads on its face; how a court would read it is a separate matter.
3Why it matters for a book
For an unpublished manuscript or a script under option, this is the clause most likely to matter. Text that has helped train a model cannot be taken back out of it, and deleting the project afterwards does not change that.
