Why it matters

This is a meaningful consumer protection in an era when many platforms use user-generated content for AI training without clear consent; however, Stock contributors should review the separate Contributor Agreement carefully.

Consumer impact

Adobe's Terms grant the company access to cloud-stored content for analytics, safety scanning, and service improvement, though local content on your device is never scanned and your files will not be used to train generative AI models. US consumers are bound by mandatory arbitration and waive their right to participate in class action lawsuits against Adobe. You can opt out of content analytics and certain data uses by visiting https://www.adobe.com/privacy/opt-out.html.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has issued guidance on AI and data practices, and deceptive use of consumer content for AI training would fall within its consumer protection mandate.
