Three moves for this week.
-
Accuracy
AI can read CRM and conversation data by default. Clean duplicates first, or the AI repeats bad records.
-
Privacy
Settings > Account management > AI > Access: turn off AI Model Training (Super Admin). It's on by default.
-
Lock-in
AI model training and data enrichment are separate switches. Turn off both if you don't want your data feeding HubSpot datasets.
Watch out: opting out of training alone doesn't stop enrichment.
Power and Risk scores are editorial judgment for marketers and small-business operators, not laboratory tests or legal advice. Power = leverage (dangerous in a good way). Risk = what can go wrong (privacy, wrong answers, lock-in, cost surprises). Tools change; re-check pricing, privacy policies, and data controls before you adopt anything.
