The updated policy discloses that vendors, service providers, and consultants with access to your information may scan, analyze, and review your content, messages, AI interactions, and associated metadata. The policy now explicitly states that these parties may use this information to train, test, and improve machine learning models and algorithms. Previously, the policy described vendor access only in terms of performing services such as hosting, analytics, and payment processing, without mentioning content analysis or AI model training. Under the revised terms, your posted content and communications may be analyzed by third parties for machine learning purposes.
