Your Data. Your Control. On Studio and Enterprise plans, your designs are never used to train AI models. Full IP ownership, GDPR-compliant EU hosting, and enterprise governance — built into the platform from day one. [Talk to Sales](/book-call) Data Governance ## Why AI Data Control Matters in Architecture Architectural designs are high-value intellectual property. When studios adopt AI tools, data governance cannot be an afterthought — it must be foundational. ### No Training on Paid Plans Studio and Enterprise designs are never used to improve AI models. Your creative IP stays exclusively yours. ### Built for Studios Enterprise controls, SSO, audit logs, and DPAs structured for architectural procurement workflows. ### GDPR-Compliant EU Hosting All data stored in EU data centres with configurable retention and isolation policies. ### You retain ownership of your Prompts Every text prompt you write — from material descriptions to lighting adjustments — remains your intellectual property across all plans. Gendo never claims rights over your creative direction. ### Commercial studios own their AI-generated outputs #### Studio & Enterprise Full commercial ownership of all renders, material explorations, and AI-generated visuals. #### Free & Educational Outputs are owned by Gendo. ### Your work is never used for training On Studio and Enterprise plans, your Prompts and Outputs are contractually protected — never used to train AI models, never used in marketing, and never shared. #### Studio & Enterprise Guarantee - Prompts and Outputs are never used for AI model training - Prompts and Outputs are never used for marketing - All data treated as Confidential Information by default ### View Free & Educational plan terms Enterprise AI Controls ## Enterprise-Grade AI Governance for Architecture Architecture studios handling sensitive competition work, client IP, and planning submissions need controls that match the stakes.
