ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes Superhuman to use User Content, including text inputs and AI outputs, for AI model training and new product development for the full duration of intellectual property law protection. The license extends to third-party service providers, which creates a downstream data processing dependency that compliance teams may need to map.

Interpretive note: The lawful basis for using EU user content for AI training under GDPR is not addressed in these Terms and may require evaluation under applicable data protection law separately from the contractual license.

Protecting our Services (for example, to analyze patterns in usage to prevent abuse); (iii). Customizing our Services (for example, to create personalized suggestions for you); (iv).
