 6# Privacy for Business
 7
 8Zed Business removes the per-member data-sharing options that Free and Pro
 9expose. These protections are on by default for every Business organization.
10Administrators can adjust them from
11[Admin Controls](./admin-controls.md); individual members can't opt in or out.
12
13## What's enforced by default
14
15For all members of a Zed Business organization:
16
17- **No prompt sharing:** Conversations and prompts are never shared with Zed.
18  Members can't opt into
19  [AI feedback via ratings](../ai/ai-improvement.md#ai-feedback-with-ratings).
20  Administrators can enable Agent Thread Feedback to allow this.
21- **No training data sharing:** Code context is never shared with Zed for
22  [Edit Prediction model training](../ai/ai-improvement.md#edit-predictions).
23  Members can't opt in individually. Administrators can enable Edit Prediction
24  Feedback to allow this.
25
26These protections are enforced server-side and apply to all org members.
27
28## How individual plans differ
29
30On Free and Pro, data sharing is opt-in:
31
32- Members can rate AI responses, which shares that conversation with Zed.
33- Members can opt into Edit Prediction training data collection for open source projects.
34
35Neither option is available to Zed Business members.
36
37## What data still leaves the organization
38
39These controls cover what Zed stores and trains on. They don't change how AI inference works: when members use Zed's hosted models, prompts and code context are still sent to the relevant provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) to generate responses. Zed maintains zero-data retention agreements with these providers. See [AI Improvement](../ai/ai-improvement.md#data-retention-and-training) for details.
40
41[Bring-your-own-key](../ai/llm-providers.md) and [external agents](../ai/external-agents.md) are subject to each provider's own terms; Zed has no visibility into how they handle data.
42
43## Additional admin controls
44
45Administrators have additional options in [Admin Controls](./admin-controls.md):
46
47- Disable Zed-hosted models entirely via the Zed Model Provider toggle, so no
48  prompts reach Zed's infrastructure
49- Disable Edit Predictions org-wide
50- Disable Edit Prediction Feedback
51- Disable Agent Thread Feedback
52- Disable real-time collaboration
