Default
Cline collects your inputs to relay them to model providers. Some providers 'may use content for training unless you have explicitly opted out'. Cline doesn't say whether it trains on them itself.
How to opt out
Use your own API key instead. No Cline-side training toggle documented.
Retention
Not published.
Telemetry
Telemetry for these requests can include your prompt and the model's response.
