What ValidStitch AI won't do (and how to opt out entirely)

The boundary between deterministic rules and AI-assisted suggestions, what the AI never decides on its own, the privacy controls on training, and how to turn off AI features per-workspace or per-account.

ValidStitch's validation engine is mostly deterministic. The AI-assisted layer is small, narrowly scoped, and easy to turn off. Here's the limit, plainly.

What the AI never decides on its own

  • Whether a deterministic-rule finding is an error or a warning. Severity is set by the rule itself.
  • Whether to auto-apply a suggested fix. The AI surfaces suggestions; you decide whether to apply.
  • Whether to export, sign, or send any file. The full validate → export → handoff workflow is operator-driven.

Training data

Customer-uploaded files are not used to train any third-party general-purpose foundation models. We may use customer content to improve internal embroidery-specific models (severity ranking, snag prediction), but only with a lawful basis under the privacy notice. Opt-out controls are available in workspace settings — see the AI Use Policy for the full disclosure.

How to turn AI features off

Steps · 2
Disable AI per workspace or account
  1. 01
    Workspace-level toggle
    Settings → AI features → toggle off. Disables AI-assisted suggestions on every project in the workspace. The deterministic rule engine continues to run as normal.
  2. 02
    Account-level toggle
    Profile → Privacy → 'Use my content for model improvement'. Toggling this off opts your uploads out of internal model improvement across every workspace you're in.
