AI in Tableau and Data Usage
AI in Tableau is built on data. As a Tableau customer, it’s important for you to know what data is being used in the features where you’ve enabled AI.
This table lists both the Customer Data, which is data submitted by the Customer to our services as defined in our Main Services Agreement (MSA)(Link opens in a new window), and the usage data, which is data relating to users’ interactions with Tableau.
Data submitted to a feature with AI in Tableau enabled may be used to improve your services and features or to develop new features that you can access without additional cost.
Note: The features in this list do not use global models, which are models that look for aggregated, anonymous trends across multiple Tableau Customers.
