PRIVACY: Can 'contributions' to the Machine Translation Cloud/Language Weaver NMT tools be traced back to users?

By using some of the free 500,000 characters of NMT granted to Trados licence holders each month for certain jobs, I assume I am contributing to the neural network in that segments/sentences/entire texts etc. are uploaded to the NMT cloud and stored there in some form. As I understand it, they and my revised/edited versions of them are somehow used to improve the neural network by giving it the opportunity to learn.

My question is, when I send/upload a segment, either initially when I first request an NMT suggestion for a segment, or subsequently once I have posted-edited it, is that segment then stored within the neural network along with information/a tag of some kind which could then be used to identify me/my Trados licence number/my IP address/my machine or whatever as the person/user etc. who uploaded that particular segment or requested an NMT for it? In other words, can segments uploaded to the online NMT tool/cloud be traced back to the specific user who uploaded them?

And are uploaded segments stored on a permanent basis?

Thanks for any information on this.
