Latest Policy Findings: 2026-06-10

Basecamp pairs heavy tracking with clearer limits on model training.

Strongest: AI Training
85/100

Basecamp is strongest where it sets guardrails around AI training, with better limits on how prompts, uploads, or workspace data feed models.

Weakest: Ads & Tracking
65/100

Basecamp is weakest on ads and tracking because cookie-based tracking remains part of the product or marketing site.
