Cloud Content Scanning

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Content you consider private — documents, photos, creative work — stored on Adobe's servers is subject to automated and human review, which may raise confidentiality concerns for professional or sensitive materials.

Consumer impact

Adobe collects extensive personal data including biometric identifiers, precise geolocation, and the content you create or store in the cloud, and shares this with advertisers, data brokers, and third-party partners. Your cloud-stored content may be scanned both automatically and by human reviewers, and your usage data may be used to train machine learning models unless you opt out. You can manage many of these data uses by visiting adobe.com/privacy/opt-out.html to adjust your privacy choices.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    FTC can investigate whether the scope of content scanning constitutes an unfair or deceptive practice relative to consumer expectations of privacy.
