The provision establishes the operational scope of data usage across Slack's service infrastructure and product development activities. It creates a conditional authorization for AI/ML training that ties data use to either explicit customer enablement or contractual permission, distinguishing this use case from general platform maintenance and improvement activities.
Under this clause, Customer Data may be incorporated into platform development and improvement activities as a standard operational practice. For AI and machine learning model training specifically, the terms condition this use on either active customer feature enablement or contractual authorization, establishing a consent or contractual basis requirement for that particular data application.
