Boston Scientific

Restricted — Zero Retention Mandatory

BSC's clause is short and pointed: they own their materials outright, and nothing of theirs can be used to train an AI or machine-learning system without their explicit written permission.

Key requirement — BSC's contract is specifically about training: never let any AI or ML system learn from BSC Property without their written sign-off. Every AI tool used must also be verified as zero-retention before use — contact the AI team if you're unsure.

Permitted

  • Internal workflows using zero-retention tools only
  • General research using non-BSC confidential material
  • Drafting with human editorial review — BSC Property never trains a model

Not permitted

  • Using BSC Property (data, designs, know-how, materials) to train any AI, ML, or neural-network system without BSC's written permission
  • Retaining BSC Property beyond what's needed to perform the work
  • Client-facing AI outputs without disclosure and approval
