Latest Policy Findings: 2026-06-10

Vercel's June 2026 privacy notice now references AI Products and Services and customer controls for AI product training.

Strongest: User Control
75/100

Vercel gives teams strong day-to-day control through project permissions, team roles, environment variables, and account management settings.

Weakest: Ads & Tracking
50/100

Privacy drops when too many people or integrations can see project metadata, logs, preview links, or connected deployment context.

-15Source [2]

Vercel publishes a current privacy policy covering sites, services, customer, and automatically collected information.

+25Source [3]

Team and project controls let customers narrow which people and integrations can access sensitive deployment data.

+20Source [4]

Environment-variable and project configuration choices can reduce unnecessary exposure of sensitive data.

-25Source [11]

Project analytics and platform logs can still create a meaningful behavioral and technical tracking surface.

-25Source [12]

+20Source [13]

Vercel is a developer platform, not a consumer ad feed built around social profiling.

+15Source [14]

The privacy policy is explicit about automatic site, service, device, and usage information collection.

Data Retention

65

Mixed

65

Mixed

Retention varies by purpose, customer relationship, logs, legal duties, and account state.

-20Source [16]

Backups, logs, and shared project contexts can preserve deployment data longer than a team expects.

-15Source [17]

Vercel has a dedicated retention section in its privacy policy.

+25Source [18]

Teams can manage projects, roles, and some deployment data lifecycle settings.

+20Source [19]

Privacy request workflows provide another formal lifecycle channel.

User Control

75

Team owners can manage members, roles, projects, domains, integrations, and environment variables.

+30Source [21]

Privacy request and account-management paths are documented.

+20Source [22]

Project and secret-management choices let teams reduce some of the most sensitive risks themselves.

+25Source [23]

End users often depend on organization owners for privacy-sensitive project settings and access decisions.

-15Source [24]
