Einstein Trust Layer

Trusting generative AI with your company secrets and your customer data while balancing the benefits of generative AI is still a challenge today. The Einstein Trust Layer is a secure AI architecture, built into the Salesforce platform. It’s a set of agreements, security technology, and data and privacy controls used to keep your company safe while you explore generative AI solutions.

Zero-Data Retention Policy

Your data isn’t retained by third-party LLMs. We partner with all our external model providers, such as OpenAI, to enforce the zero-data retention policy.

  • No data is used for LLM model training or product improvements by third-party LLMs.
  • No data is retained by the third-party LLMs.
  • No human being at the third-party provider looks at data sent to their LLM unless Salesforce grants view access in response to documented suspicion of illegal activity or significant violation of applicable usage policies.

  • Secure data retrieval of Salesforce data for grounding the prompt based on the permissions of the user executing the prompt.
  • Secure data retrieval preserves in place all standard Salesforce role-based controls for user permissions and field-level security when merging grounding data from your CRM instance or Data 360.
