REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implicates GDPR Art. 6 (lawful basis for processing personal data in AI training), Art. 13 (transparency obligations at point of data collection), and Recital 47-49 regarding legitimate interests assessments. Under the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689), providers of general-purpose AI models must maintain training data documentation under Art. 53. For California users, CCPA §1798.100 grants the right to know how personal information — including content that may be linked to identity — is used. The FTC Act Section 5 is engaged if the training use is not clearly disclosed at the point of collection. Enforcement authority: European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and national supervisory authorities for GDPR; FTC for US consumers; Canada's Office of the Privacy Commissioner under PIPEDA.
