Not counted on this board

We read 10 named documents that turned out not to be what this board asks about; why is given for each below. They count toward the reading, not the answers.

How we read and count

Each vendor's own published terms were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).

For every document, four questions were answered from the vendor's own words: who owns the business's data, vendor keeps aggregated or anonymised use, training AI on the business's data, export at exit.

Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the document read does not address the question.

A vendor with several documents reads 'varies' where they disagree.

8 vendors, 10 documents.
