How to use Unity AI safely

  • Use the business variant and sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
  • Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.
  • Ask the provider explicitly where data is stored and processed.
  • Keep a professional in the loop: source code is a trade secret and intellectual property.

Latest developments

9 November 2026Claude Code stores approved commands containing passwords in settings.local.json

If you choose "Yes, and don't ask again" in Claude Code, the tool saves the command verbatim in .claude/settings.local.json, including passwords or API keys. Apiiro found real secrets in 1,122 of 104,185 public copies on GitHub, including 379 database passwords. Keep the file out of git, use variables for secrets, and replace any keys that have already leaked. source

November 2 2026Message threads (beta) fall outside Zero Data Retention

With message threads in the Claude API, Anthropic stores the conversation, the system prompt and the tools on the server, encrypted in memory and not on disk, until up to one hour after the last use. The feature does not qualify for Zero Data Retention; your other ZDR agreements still apply. If you work with personal data under ZDR, only enable threads if your DPIA covers it. source

26 October 2026Swedish government office blocks the browser version on work computers

From 26 October, the Swedish government office blocks ChatGPT and Claude on work computers because there is no formal contract and there are information security risks; Microsoft Copilot remains permitted. Business use therefore requires a contract with data processing terms. source

Questions

How safe is Unity AI for IT & software development?
The maker of Unity AI publishes little about data protection. Ask about this before you put confidential IT & software development data into it. The provider publishes little about this, so ask them before business use.
Does Unity AI train on my data?
assistant used via Unity Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Kimi K3 and Z.ai GLM; generators via Layer AI, Scenario and Uthana. Training on your content is off by default (opt-in), and partner models do not train on your data. You own input and output. Inference Engine runs locally. Hosting region and certification not found; tools in beta.
What should I watch out for with AI in IT & software development?
Source code is trade secret and intellectual property. Check whether AI coding assistants store your code or use it for model training (an opt-out or business plan is required). Use on-premises or privacy-compliant variants for sensitive projects. AI-generated code sometimes contains security vulnerabilities or errors, so always have a developer review it, especially production code.
