How Sentry’s Seer AI Agent passes legal review: a guide for legal teams reviewing Seer

Sentry's guide for legal teams evaluating their Seer AI Agent outlines the stringent criteria the company's legal department uses to assess AI tools, emphasizing data protection and compliance with customer commitments. The criteria include limited data use rights, in-product data controls, alignment with customer commitments, audited security controls, and transparency. Sentry ensures that data is only used to provide services, with strict prohibitions on data sharing and model training without consent, and offers administrative controls for managing AI features. The Seer AI Agent is compliant with SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001, undergoes annual security tests, and aligns with data retention and locality commitments. Despite not offering IP infringement indemnity for AI-generated code, Sentry argues that Seer's modifications are unlikely to pose significant infringement risks due to their nature as functional code fixes. The guide encourages legal departments to independently assess AI tools while presenting Sentry's checklist as a robust framework for evaluation.
