Agent Readiness is a derived signal — a synthesis of two existing cells (Access, Portability) plus one sourced factor (API access), not an independently measured grade. API access scale: Best (2) consumer-grantable API · Moderate (1) partial / encumbered · Restrictive (0) manual export only. What is Agent Readiness?
Reviewed Jun 2026 · some cells re-verified Aug 2026 · policies are checked weekly for changes · stated — every cell is read from Qwen (Alibaba Cloud)'s published policy; none has been tested (run by us) yet.
1Accessstated
Rights are jurisdiction-conditional — “Depending on the jurisdiction in which you are residing, you may have the right to … access”; some rights are exercisable in-account, the rest by emailing the Data Protection Officer. No portal, and no stated scope or timeline.
Qwen Privacy Policy — §IX Your Rights · accessed Aug 2026 ↗0Portabilitystated
No export tool is documented anywhere; data portability appears only in the jurisdiction-conditional rights list, and the Terms of Service prohibit retrieving your own content “in an automated manner” — extraction, download, scraping and indexing of Services content are all barred.
Qwen Terms of Service — §II Use of Our Services · accessed Aug 2026 ↗0Frictionstated
Some rights are exercisable in-account, the rest by DPO email with no stated timeline — and the policy states that withdrawing consent “may … result in the termination of any agreements you have with us and/or you being in breach of your contractual obligations”, with “legal rights and remedies … expressly reserved”. Framing a consent withdrawal as a potential contract breach ties rights to service loss — the rights-held-hostage shape, beyond standard conditional boilerplate.
Qwen Privacy Policy — §IX Your Rights / §XI How to Contact Us · accessed Aug 2026 ↗1Deletionstated
Account deletion exists and erasure is a listed jurisdiction-conditional right, but “In certain circumstances, we may need to retain your personal data after your account has been deleted”, and no purge timeline is stated.
Qwen Privacy Policy — §VI How Do We Retain Your Personal Data · accessed Aug 2026 ↗1Sells / sharesstated
The policy contains no statement that Qwen does not sell or share data for advertising — and none that it does. Disclosure recipients include group companies, service providers, analytics providers, and “any business partner, investor, assignee or transferee (actual or prospective)”. Silence grades to the middle: no no-sell commitment, no stated advertiser sharing.
Qwen Privacy Policy — §IV How Do We Disclose Your Personal Data · accessed Aug 2026 ↗0Trains AIstated
The policy’s purpose table trains “our AI models” on “De-identified User Content” and Feedback under legitimate interests, with no opt-out anywhere in the policy; the ToS has users “expressly authorise and consent” to ML training. The only opt-out mention is an email request in the separate Training Data Summary — no US-exercisable control.
Qwen Privacy Policy — §II · Terms of Service §III · Training Data Summary · accessed Aug 2026 ↗0API access — feeds Agent Readiness, not the /12stated
The Qwen API platform serves model inference; there is no consumer-data OAuth API, and the Terms of Service bar automated retrieval of your own content from the Services.
Qwen API Platform · Terms of Service §II · accessed Aug 2026 ↗Graded 2026-08-30 against the Qwen (Qwen Studio) Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (both last updated May 19, 2026) and the Training Data Summary. Operator: Alibaba Cloud (Singapore) Private Limited; the policy states personal data is stored and processed “in Singapore and Mainland China”, with corporate-group access from both. Beyond the graded cells, the ToS takes a perpetual, transferable, sub-licensable licence to “publish … and/or distribute any User Content” plus your username, image and likeness, with privacy- and publicity-rights waivers — recorded here because it falls outside the Sells cell’s advertising scope. The Memory feature retains details from past conversations; voice/video input “may be considered biometric identifiers”. This company also publishes its models as open weights. Running them yourself, or through another host, is not governed by this policy — this grade describes Qwen's own service. All cells stated, not tested.
