Why it matters

Your creative work, documents, and other content may be used to train or improve Adobe's AI and machine learning systems unless you actively opt out.

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.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Visit adobe.com/go/machine_learning_opt_out, sign in to your Adobe account, and follow the instructions to opt out of your content being used for machine learning and product improvement purposes.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    FTC has jurisdiction over AI-related data practices and can investigate whether opt-out mechanisms for ML training are sufficiently prominent and accessible.
