Is Leonardo AI safe for work?

Low risk · 22

Leonardo.Ai (Canva) · Image · facts (medium-confidence)

Leonardo AI is low-risk for default at-work use (22/100): it trains on your data unless you opt out, and holds SOC 2 Type II.

Watch out: Free Leonardo content is public by default and used to improve the service; only paid members can switch on Private Mode. There is a DPA and a SOC 2 commitment, but no verified ISO 27001, no BAA and no enterprise SSO. Fine for creative work, not for regulated data.
