What it is

The agreement authorizes ActiveCampaign to view, copy, and internally use both Marketing Content (including emails, SMS, photos, videos, and other materials created by users) and Contact Data (including personally identifiable information about end-customers) to train and improve the Services. This processing is stated to occur as part of providing the Services.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes ActiveCampaign to use personally identifiable Contact Data and user-created Marketing Content for AI training and service improvement purposes, which creates compliance obligations for organizations that act as data controllers for their Contacts under GDPR, CCPA, or similar frameworks, particularly regarding whether existing Data Processing Agreements and user-facing privacy notices adequately disclose and govern this downstream use.

Interpretive note: The precise characterization of ActiveCampaign as data processor versus joint or independent controller for the AI training use may vary by jurisdiction and enforcement interpretation, affecting which obligations apply to users and to ActiveCampaign respectively.
