Apertus LLM Acceptable Use Policy
(v1.0 | September 1, 2025)
The Swiss National AI Institute (SNAI) is a partnership between the two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology, ETH Zurich and EPFL.
By using the Apertus LLM you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ETH Zurich and EPFL against any third-party claims arising from your use of Apertus LLM.
The training data and the Apertus LLM may contain or generate information that directly or indirectly refers to an identifiable individual (Personal Data). You process Personal Data as independent controller in accordance with applicable data protection law. SNAI will regularly provide a file with hash values for download which you can apply as an output filter to your use of our Apertus LLM. The file reflects data protection deletion requests which have been addressed to SNAI as the developer of the Apertus LLM. It allows you to remove Personal Data contained in the model output. We strongly advise downloading and applying this output filter from SNAI every six months following the release of the model.
