- Payment processor attribution differs across two live legal pages - the Privacy Policy names Paystack for billing while the Cookie Policy names Stripe (plus a Stripe cookie table). Both may be accurate for different layers, but the checkout flow was not exercised.
- No independent third-party accuracy evaluation is published; the benchmark figures are the vendor's own results on a 400-document internal corpus.
- Security posture is now unanswered rather than contradicted - the former 'SOC-2 Type II Certified' footer claim was removed in the 2026-10-08 fix, and no replacement certification or audit detail is published.
- The free tier is five one-time introductory checks (1 guest + 4 signed-in), not a recurring free plan.
Not a FormSubmit submission - an inbound affiliate/partnership offer to partnerships@aidetector.cx, held from 2026-10-06 pending two publication blockers. Editorial entry written independently; no vendor copy reused. Both blockers verified cleared on the live site 2026-10-08: (1) the training-use contradiction is gone - both /detector and /privacy now state submitted analysis text is not used to train or fine-tune detection models on any plan, and the old Enterprise/Professional-scoped opt-out sentence no longer exists; (2) the four named third-party testimonials (Forbes / Stripe / HubSpot / Nature Portfolio) have been removed from /detector. The vendor also removed the SOC-2 Type II footer claim and the 98.7% / 1.2s / 12.4M+ / 142+ marketing figures. Verified the same day from the live pages: /pricing (plans 12/29/79 monthly, 120/290/790 annual, 300/1,000/3,000 credits), /privacy (data controller AIDetector.cx Inc., Berkeley CA; 12-month analysis history retention, deletable from the dashboard; no training use), /terms (you retain ownership of submitted content; output licensed for personal or commercial use; governed by California law), /cookies (Cloudflare / Stripe / Supabase), and a sitemap listing ~40 pages. Operator: AIDetector.cx Inc., a named legal entity, not a sole-proprietor microsite. Name is shared with unrelated live detectors on aidetector.com and aidetector.ai, so the listing carries the exact .cx domain. Affiliate terms confirmed in writing 2026-10-08 - 30% recurring on eligible subscription payments for the lifetime of the customer, monthly and annual eligible, 30-day attribution window, 30-day hold, $50 minimum payout.

- The ownership clause does not guarantee that generated output is unique, copyrightable, or free of third-party rights.
- Third-party providers may retain metadata for billing, safety, and compliance even where Input and Output retention is prohibited.
- The current AI Terms still mention legacy Pro and Plus workspaces in the retention section even though the current public pricing lineup is Free, Team, Business, and Enterprise Scale.
Airtable's August 10, 2026 billing documentation says AI credits are pooled at workspace or organization level. Credits fund features such as Field Agents, AI automations, deep-research questions, feedback categorization, document analysis, and image generation; consumption varies by input, selected model, and output. The Airtable AI Terms, last updated July 23, 2026, classify Input and Output as Customer Data and state that customers retain all ownership rights in both. Airtable states that neither it nor its third-party AI providers will use Input, Output, or other Customer Data to train generative-AI models. For Business and Enterprise Scale, providers do not log Input or Output for human review or retain it, subject to stated exceptions. For Free, Team, Pro, and Plus workspaces, providers may retain Input and Output for up to 30 days for safety and compliance moderation.
