Your risk tolerance may vary by tool type
Overall Assessment
Trunk Tools shows mixed risk signals with strong security practices (SOC 2 Type II) but concerning data rights terms. While they don't access source code directly, they collect extensive test data and grant themselves broad perpetual licenses to user content. The privacy policy is consumer-focused and lacks enterprise-specific protections, though they do provide clear data retention periods and deletion rights.

A yellow rating doesn't mean don't use it — it means use it carefully. The right enterprise tier, contractual addendum, or governance policy can often make a moderate-risk tool safe for professional use. Barbieri Technology Group works with firms to turn AI ambition into AI governance. If your team is actively adopting AI tools, we should talk.
