This provision establishes the operational scope of data collection and processing tied to AI feature usage. It clarifies that content inputs to AI features are subject to collection and review processes distinct from standard service operation, with specified purposes that include model development and safety review.
Interpretive note: The precise scope of what content is retained for AI training versus used only for immediate service delivery is not fully specified in the policy, creating some ambiguity about the extent of this practice.
If you use Canva's AI-powered features, the prompts and creative inputs you provide may be used to train Canva's AI models and could be reviewed by Canva staff or automated systems, meaning content you consider private within a design session may be retained for broader product development purposes. Users who want to limit this should consider what information they include in AI prompts.
